An Oracle Concerning Moab

¹ The ^(F1)oracle concerning ^(C1)Moab.

Surely in a night ^(C2)Ar of Moab is destroyed and ruined;
Surely in a night Kir of Moab is destroyed and ruined.

² They have gone up to the ^(F1)temple and to ^(C1)Dibon, even to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone's head is ^(C2)bald and every beard is cut off.

³ In their streets they have girded themselves with ^(C1)sackcloth;
^(C2)On their rooftops and in their squares
Everyone is wailing, ^(F1)(C3)dissolved in weeping.

^4 (C1)Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore ^(F1)the armed men of Moab make a loud shout;
His soul trembles within him.

⁵ My heart cries out for Moab;
Those who flee from her are as far as ^(C1)Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ^(C2)ascent of Luhith weeping;
Surely on the road to Horonaim they keep awake with crying in distress ^(C3)over their destruction.

⁶ For the ^(C1)waters of Nimrim are ^(F1)desolate.
Surely the grass is dried up, the tender grass has ^(F2)completely ceased,
There is ^(C2)no green thing.

⁷ Therefore the ^(C1)abundance they have made and stored up
They carry off over the brook of ^(F1)Arabim.

⁸ For the cry has gone around the territory of Moab,
Its wailing goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.

⁹ For the waters of Dimon are full of ^(F1)blood;
Surely I will put added woes upon Dimon,
A ^(C1)lion upon those of Moab who have escaped and upon the remnant of the land.
