Because in the night ^(B)Ar of ^(C)Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,
Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,
² He has gone up to the ^[b]temple and Dibon,
To the high places to weep.
Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba;
^(D)On all their heads will be baldness,
And every beard cut off.
³ In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth;
On the tops of their houses
And in their streets
Everyone will wail, ^(E)weeping bitterly.
⁴ Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out,
Their voice shall be heard as far as ^(F)Jahaz;
Therefore the ^[c]armed soldiers of Moab will cry out;
His life will be burdensome to him.

⁵ “My^(G) heart will cry out for Moab;
His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
Like ^[d]a three-year-old heifer.
For ^(H)by the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction,
⁶ For the waters ^(I)of Nimrim will be desolate,
For the green grass has withered away;
The grass fails, there is nothing green.
⁷ Therefore the abundance they have gained,
And what they have laid up,
They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.
⁸ For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.
⁹ For the waters of ^[e]Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
^(J)Lions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”
