1 The burden{H4853} of Moab{H4124}. Because in the night{H3915} Ar{H6144} of Moab{H4124} is laid waste{H7703}{(H8795)}, and brought to silence{H1820}{(H8738)}; because in the night{H3915} Kir{H7024} of Moab{H4124} is laid waste{H7703}{(H8795)}, and brought to silence{H1820}{(H8738)};

2 He is gone up{H5927}{(H8804)} to Bajith{H1006}, and to Dibon{H1769}, the high places{H1116}, to weep{H1065}: Moab{H4124} shall howl{H3213}{(H8686)} over Nebo{H5015}, and over Medeba{H4311}: on all their heads{H7218} shall be baldness{H7144}, and every beard{H2206} cut off{H1438}{(H8803)}.

3 In their streets{H2351} they shall gird{H2296}{(H8804)} themselves with sackcloth{H8242}: on the tops{H1406} of their houses, and in their streets{H7339}, every one shall howl{H3213}{(H8686)}, weeping{H1065} abundantly{H3381}{(H8802)}.

4 And Heshbon{H2809} shall cry{H2199}{(H8799)}, and Elealeh{H500}: their voice{H6963} shall be heard{H8085}{(H8738)} even unto Jahaz{H3096}: therefore the armed soldiers{H2502}{(H8803)} of Moab{H4124} shall cry out{H7321}{(H8686)}; his life{H5315} shall be grievous{H3415}{(H8804)} unto him.

5 My heart{H3820} shall cry out{H2199}{(H8799)} for Moab{H4124}; his fugitives{H1280} shall flee unto Zoar{H6820}, an heifer{H5697} of three years old{H7992}: for by the mounting up{H4608} of Luhith{H3872} with weeping{H1065} shall they go it up{H5927}{(H8799)}; for in the way{H1870} of Horonaim{H2773} they shall raise up{H5782}{(H8787)} a cry{H2201} of destruction{H7667}.

6 For the waters{H4325} of Nimrim{H5249} shall be desolate{H4923}: for the hay{H2682} is withered away{H3001}{(H8804)}, the grass{H1877} faileth{H3615}{(H8804)}, there is no green thing{H3418}.

7 Therefore the abundance{H3502} they have gotten{H6213}{(H8804)}, and that which they have laid up{H6486}, shall they carry away{H5375}{(H8799)} to the brook{H5158} of the willows{H6155}.

8 For the cry{H2201} is gone round about{H5362}{(H8689)} the borders{H1366} of Moab{H4124}; the howling{H3215} thereof unto Eglaim{H97}, and the howling{H3215} thereof unto Beerelim{H879}.

9 For the waters{H4325} of Dimon{H1775} shall be full{H4390}{(H8804)} of blood{H1818}: for I will bring{H7896}{(H8799)} more{H3254}{(H8737)} upon Dimon{H1775}, lions{H738} upon him that escapeth{H6413} of Moab{H4124}, and upon the remnant{H7611} of the land{H127}.
