MLV(i)
1 The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. For in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.
2 They have gone up to the house and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. On all their heads is baldness. Every beard is cut off.
3 In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth. On their housetops and in their broad places, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.
4 And Heshbon cries out and Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. His soul trembles within him.
5 My heart cries out for Moab. Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah. For they go up with weeping by the ascent of Luhith. For they raise up a cry of destruction in the way of Horonaim. 6 For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate, for the grass is withered away. The tender grass fails. There is no green thing.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten and what they have laid up, they will carry away over the brook of the willows. 8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab, the wailing of it to Eglaim and the wailing of it to Beer-elim. 9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood. For I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon those of Moab who escape and upon the remnant of the land.
