1 LOAD OF MOAB Seeing that, in a night, devastated is the city, Moab is stilled! Seeing that, in a night, devastated is the side wall, Moab is stilled!"
2 It ascends the Bith and Dibon, the fane heights, for lamentation. On Nebo and on Medeba is Moab howling. On all their heads is baldness, and every beard is hacked."
3 In its streets they gird on sackcloth. On top of its houses and in its squares everyone is howling, and tears are descending with lamentation."
4 And crying out is Heshbon and Elealeh, unto Jahaz their voice is heard. Therefore those liberated for war in Moab are shouting. Its soul is feeling evil to him."
5 The heart of Moab is crying out in it. Its fugitives are unto Zoar, as a heifer of the third year, for the ascent of Luhith. It is ascending into it with lamentation, for the way is a hot outcry with breaking and quaking."
