1. Oracle on Moab:Laid waste in a night,Ar of Moab is destroyed;Laid waste in a night,Kir of Moab is destroyed.
2. Daughter Dibon has gone upto the high places to weep;Over Nebo and over MedebaMoab is wailing.Every head is shaved,every beard sheared off.
3. In the streets they wear sackcloth,and on the rooftops;In the squareseveryone wails, streaming with tears.
4. Heshbon and Elealeh cry out,they are heard as far as Jahaz.At this the loins of Moab tremble,his soul quivers within him;
5. My heart cries out for Moab,his fugitives reach Zoar,Eglath-shelishiyah:The ascent of Luhiththey ascend weeping;On the way to Horonaimthey utter rending cries;
