Judgment on Moab

¹ The pronouncement concerning ^(C1)Moab:

Certainly in a night ^(C2)Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined;
Certainly in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.

^2 (F1)The people have gone up to the ^(F2)temple and to ^(C1)Dibon, to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone's head is ^(C2)bald and every beard is cut off.

³ In their streets they have put on ^(C1)sackcloth;
^(C2)On their housetops and in their public squares
Everyone is wailing, ^(F1)(C3)overcome with weeping.

^4 (C1)Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore the ^(F1)armed men of Moab cry aloud;
His soul trembles within him.

⁵ My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as ^(C1)Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ^(C2)ascent of Luhith weeping;
Indeed, on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress ^(C3)over their collapse.

⁶ For the ^(C1)waters of Nimrim are ^(F1)desolate.
Indeed, the grass is withered, the new growth has died,
There is ^(C2)no greenery.

⁷ Therefore the ^(C1)abundance which they have acquired and stored up,
They carry it off over the brook of ^(F1)Arabim.

⁸ For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab,
Its wailing goes as far as Eglaim and its howling to Beer-elim.

⁹ For the waters of Dimon are full of ^(F1)blood;
I will certainly bring added woes upon Dimon,
A ^(C1)lion upon the fugitives of Moab and the remnant of the land.
