(A)Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore the [a]armed men of Moab cry aloud;

My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as (B)Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the (C)ascent of Luhith weeping;
Indeed, on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress (D)over their collapse.
For the (E)waters of Nimrim are [b]desolate.
Indeed, the grass is withered, the new growth has died,
There is (F)no greenery.
