THE BURDEN OF MOAB
The burden of Moab: Because in a night Ar of Moab is ravaged and rendered mute; because in a night Qir of Moab is ravaged and rendered mute: 2 he ascends to Bayith and to Dibon - to the bamahs, weeping: Moab howls over Nebo and over Medeba - baldness on all their heads - every beard cut off. 3 In their outways they gird with sackcloth: on their roofs and in their broadways every one howls - descending into weeping abundantly. 4 And Heshbon cries, and El Aleh: their voice is heard to Yahsah: so the equipped of Moab shout; his soul trembles. 5 My heart is toward Moab; his fugitives cry out to Soar, an heifer of three: for by the ascent of Luchith they ascend with weeping; for in the way of Horonayim they waken a cry of breaking. 6 For the waters of Nimrim are desolations: for the hay withers away, the sprout finishes off; there is no green. 7 So the abundance they worked and what they mustered they bear away to the wadi of the willows. 8 For the cry goes around the borders of Moab - the howling to Eglayim and the howling to Beerelim: 9 for the waters of Dimon fill with blood: for I place additions upon Dimon - lions upon the escapees of Moab and upon the survivors of the soil.
