1 The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste,
and brought to nothing; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste,
and brought to nothing. 2 They are gone up to
Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep: Moab wails over Nebo, and over
Medeba; on
all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off. 3 In their streets
they gird themselves with sackcloth; on their housetops, and in their broad
places, everyone wails, weeping abundantly. 4 Heshbon cries out, and
Elealeh; their voice is heard even to Jahaz: therefore the armed men of Moab
cry aloud; his soul trembles within him. 5 My heart cries out for Moab;
her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for by the ascent of
Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a
cry of destruction. 6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the
grass is withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid
up, shall they carry away over the brook of the willows. 8 For the cry is
gone round about the borders of Moab; the wailing of it to Eglaim, and the
wailing of it to Beer-elim. 9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood;
for I will bring yet more on Dimon, a lion on them of Moab that escape, and
on the remnant of the land.
