⁷ The vineyard^(A) of the Lord Almighty
    is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
    are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,^(B) but saw bloodshed;
    for righteousness,^(C) but heard cries of distress.^(D)

⁵ My heart cries out^(A) over Moab;^(B)
    her fugitives^(C) flee as far as Zoar,^(D)
    as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
    weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaim^(E)
    they lament their destruction.^(F)

¹² The nations will hear of your shame;
    your cries will fill the earth.
One warrior will stumble over another;
    both will fall^(A) down together.”

⁵⁴ “The sound of a cry^(A) comes from Babylon,
    the sound of great destruction^(B)
    from the land of the Babylonians.^[a]
