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;
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate:
for the hay is withered away,
the grass faileth,
there is no green thing.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten,
and that which they have laid up,
shall they carry away
to the brook of the willows.
8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab;
the howling thereof unto Eglaim,
and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.
9 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.
