[1]The burden of Moab. Surely Ar of Moab was destroyed , and brought to silence in a night: surely Kir of Moab was destroyed, and brought to silence in a night. [2]He shall go up to the temple, and to Dibon to the high places to weep: for Nebo and for Medeba shall Moab howl: upon all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shaven. [3]In their streets shall they be girded with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets everyone shall howl, and come down with weeping. [4]And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard unto Jahaz: therefore the warriors of Moab shall shout: the soul of every one shall lament in himself. [5]Mine heart shall cry for Moab: his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three year old: for they shall go up with weeping by the mounting up of Luhith: and by the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction. [6]For the waters of Nimrim shall be dried up: therefore the grass is withered, the herbs consumed, and there was no green herb. [7]Therefore what every man hath left, and their substance shall they bear to the brook of the willows. [8]For the cry went round about the borders of Moab: and the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the skriking thereof unto Beer Elim, [9]Because the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, even lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and to the remnant of the land.
