The 1oracle concerning aMoab
. Surely
in a night
bAr
of Moab
is devastated
and ruined
; Surely
in a night
Kir
of Moab
is devastated
and ruined
.
They have gone up to the 1temple
and to aDibon
, even to the high
places
to weep
. Moab
wails
over
Nebo
and Medeba
; Everyone's
head
is bbald
and every
beard
is cut
off
.
In their streets they have girded
themselves with asackcloth
; bOn their housetops
and in their squares
Everyone
is wailing
, 1 cdissolved
in tears
.
aHeshbon and Elealeh
also cry
out, Their voice
is heard
all
the way
to Jahaz
; Therefore
the 1armed
men of Moab
cry
aloud
; His soul
trembles
within him.
My heart cries
out for Moab
; His fugitives
are as far
as aZoar
and Eglath-shelishiyah
, For they go
up the bascent
of Luhith
weeping
; Surely
on the road
to Horonaim
they raise
a cry
of distress
cover their ruin
.
For the awaters of Nimrim
are 1desolate
. Surely
the grass
is withered
, the tender
grass
2died
out, There is bno
green
thing
.
Therefore the aabundance
which they have acquired
and stored
up They carry
off over
the brook
of 1Arabim
.
For the cry of distress
has gone
around
the territory
of Moab
, Its wail
goes as far
as Eglaim
and its wailing
even to Beer-elim
.
For the waters of Dimon
are full
of 1blood
; Surely
I will bring
added
woes upon Dimon
, A alion
upon the fugitives
of Moab
and upon the remnant
of the land
.
