“My(A) heart will cry out for Moab;
His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
Like [a]a three-year-old heifer.
For (B)by the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction,
For the waters (C)of Nimrim will be desolate,
For the green grass has withered away;
The grass fails, there is nothing green.
Therefore the abundance they have gained,
And what they have laid up,
They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.
For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.
For the waters of [b]Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
(D)Lions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”
