The Oracle concerning Moab

151 The oracle concerning Moab . Surely in a night Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined ; Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined . 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 is bald and every beard is cut off . 3 In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth ; On their housetops and in their squares Everyone is wailing , dissolved in tears . 4 Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out, Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz ; Therefore e the armed men of Moab cry aloud ; His soul trembles within him. 5 My heart cries out for Moab ; His fugitives are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah e , For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping ; Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their ruin .

6 For the waters of Nimrim are desolate . Surely the grass is withered , the tender grass died out, There is no green thing . 7 Therefore e the abundance which they have acquired and stored up They carry off over the brook of Arabim . 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 . 9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood ; Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon , A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land .
