(This is) the burden against Moab : - Ar in Moab is ruined , destroyed ... in a night ! Kir in Moab is devastated , destroyed in a night !
Dibon goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails over Nebo , as well as over Medeba. Every head is shaved , every beard is cut off.
In its streets they wear sackcloth ; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all wail , falling down weeping.
Heshbon and Elealeh cry out ; their voices are heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore ... the soldiers of Moab cry out ; their souls tremble
My heart cries out over Moab ; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar , as far as Eglath-shelishiyah .... ... With weeping they ascend - the slope of Luhith ; they lament ... their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
- The waters of Nimrim are ... dried up , (and) the grass is withered ; the vegetation is gone , (and) the greenery is no more.
So ... they carry their wealth ... and belongings over the Brook of the Willows.
For their outcry - echoes to the border of Moab. ... Their wailing reaches Eglaim ; (it is heard) vvv in Beer-elim.
The waters of Dimon are full of blood , ... but I will bring more upon Dimon — a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
