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;
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.
