1 | The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid
waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of
Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; |
|
2 | He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to
weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their
heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off. |
|
3 | In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on
the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one
shall howl, weeping abundantly. |
|
4 | And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard
even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall
cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him. |
|
5 | My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto
Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of
Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of
Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction. |
|
6 | For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is
withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing. |
|
7 | Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they
have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the
willows. |
|
8 | For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the
howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto
Beerelim. |
|
9 | For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will
bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab,
and upon the remnant of the land. |
