5 “My^a heart will cry out for Moab;
His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
Like¹ a three-year-old heifer.
For ^bby the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction, ‡

6 For the waters ^aof Nimrim will be desolate,
For the green grass has withered away;
The grass fails, there is nothing green. ‡

8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.

9 For the waters of¹ Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
^aLions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.” ‡
