151This is the burden against Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined,destroyed in a night!Kir in Moab is devastated,destroyed in a night!+2Dibon goes up to its templeto weep at its high places.Moab wails over Nebo,as well as over Medeba.Every head is shaved,every beard is cut off.+3In its streets they wear sackcloth;on the rooftops and in the public squaresthey all wail, falling down weeping.+4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;their voices are heard as far as Jahaz.Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out;their souls tremble within.+5My heart cries out over Moab;her fugitives flee as far as Zoar,as far as Eglath-shelishiyah.With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith;they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.+6The waters of Nimrim are dried up,and the grass is withered;the vegetation is gone,and the greenery is no more.+7So they carry their wealth and belongingsover the Brook of the Willows.+8For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab.Their wailing reaches Eglaim;it is heard in Beer-elim.+9The waters of Dimon are full of blood,but I will bring more upon Dimon —a lion upon the fugitives of Moaband upon the remnant of the land.+Footnotes (3)
