The burden of Moab.
Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste,
and brought to silence; because in the night Kir
of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;
02 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the
high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo,
and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be
baldness, and every beard cut off.
03 In their streets they shall gird themselves
with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and
in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping
abundantly.
04 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their
voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore
the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his
life shall be grievous unto him.
05 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives
shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years
old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with
weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of
Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of
destruction.

06 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate:
for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth,
there is no green thing.
07 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and
that which they have laid up, shall they carry
away to the brook of the willows.
08 For the cry is gone round about the borders of
Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the
howling thereof unto Beerelim.
09 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of
blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions
upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the
remnant of the land.
