15:1 The oracle concerning Moab Surely in a night Ar of Moab has suffered devastation and ruin; Surely in a night Kir of Moab has suffered devastation and ruin. |
15:2 They have gone up to the temple and to Dibon, even to the high places to weep Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba; Everyone's head has become bald and every beard they cut off. |
15:3 In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth; On their housetops and in their squares Everyone wails, dissolved in tears. |
15:4 Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out, Their voice we hear all the way to Jahaz; Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; His soul trembles within him. |
15:5 My heart cries out for Moab; His fugitives we find as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah, For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping; Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their ruin. |
15:6 For the waters of Nimrim have become desolate Surely the grass withered, the tender grass died out, There remains no green thing. |
15:7 Therefore the abundance which they have acquired and stored up They carry off over the brook of Arabim. |
15:8 For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab, Its wail goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim. |
15:9 For the waters of Dimon have filled with blood; Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon, A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land. |
