15 The burden of Moab. For in the night the city of Moab was destroyed, perishing; for in the night the wall of Moab was destroyed, perishing.

2 He went up to the house and to Dibon, the heights, to weep: over Nebo and Medeba shall Moab wail: upon all their heads baldness; every beard cut off.

3 And in their places without they girded themselves with sackcloth: upon her roofs and in her streets every one shall wail, going down into weeping.

4 And Heshbon shall cry and Elealah; even to Jahaz their voice was heard: for this the loins of Moab shall make a loud noise his soul shall be evil to him.

5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; passing through even to Zoar, a heifer of three years: for going up to Luhith with weeping shall they go up into it: for the way of Horonaim they shall rouse up a cry of breaking.

6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolation; for the grass dried up, the herbage failed; there was no green.

7 For this the abundance made and their wealth upon the torrent of the Arabians shall they lift them up.

8 For the cry surrounded the bound of Moab, its wailing even to Eglaim, and its wailing to the well of Elim.

9 For the waters of Dimon were filled with blood: I will put additions upon Dimon, to the escaping of Moab, lions, and to the rest of the land.
