Surely in a night ^(B)Ar of Moab is destroyed and ruined;
Surely in a night Kir of Moab is destroyed and ruined.
² They have gone up to the ^[b]temple and to ^(C)Dibon, even to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone’s head is ^(D)bald and every beard is cut off.
³ In their streets they have girded themselves with ^(E)sackcloth;
^(F)On their rooftops and in their squares
Everyone is wailing, ^[c](G)dissolved in weeping.
^4 (H)Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore ^[d]the armed men of Moab make a loud shout;
His soul trembles within him.
⁵ My heart cries out for Moab;
Those who flee from her are as far as ^(I)Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ^(J)ascent of Luhith weeping;
Surely on the road to Horonaim they keep awake with crying in distress ^(K)over their destruction.
⁶ For the ^(L)waters of Nimrim are ^[e]desolate.
Surely the grass is dried up, the tender grass has ^[f]completely ceased,
There is ^(M)no green thing.
⁷ Therefore the ^(N)abundance they have made and stored up
They carry off over the brook of ^[g]Arabim.
⁸ For the cry has gone around the territory of Moab,
Its wailing goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.
⁹ For the waters of Dimon are full of ^[h]blood;
Surely I will put added woes upon Dimon,
A ^(O)lion upon those of Moab who have escaped and upon the remnant of the land.
