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 ;

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.
