1 |
The burden of Moab: For in the night of being laid waste, Ar of Moab is destroyed; for in the night of being laid waste, Kir of Moab is destroyed! -
|
2 |
He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off. -
|
3 |
In their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears. -
|
4 |
And Heshbon crieth, and Elealeh: their voice is heard unto Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out: his soul trembleth in him. -
|
5 |
My heart crieth out for Moab; their fugitives [have fled] unto Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah: for by the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up by it; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction. -
|
6 |
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the herbage is withered away, the grass hath failed, there is no green thing. -
|
7 |
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows. -
|
8 |
For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim. -
|
9 |
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay yet more upon Dimon: a lion upon them that are escaped of Moab, and upon that which remaineth of the land. -
