THE burden of Mo'av. Because in the night Ar of Mo'av is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Qiyr of Mo'av is laid waste, and brought to silence;
He is gone up to Bayith, and to Diyvon, the high places, to weep: Mo'av shall howl over Nevu, and over Meydeva: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.
In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, everyone shall howl, weeping abundantly.
And Cheshbon shall cry, and El'aleh: their voice shall be heard even unto Yahats: therefore the armed soldiers of Mo'av shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
My heart shall cry out for Mo'av; his fugitives shall flee unto Tso'ar, a heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luchiyth with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Choronayim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
For the waters of Nimriym shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass fails, there is no green thing.
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
For the cry is gone round about the borders of Mo'av; the howling thereof unto Eglayim, and the howling thereof unto Be'er Eliym.
For the waters of Diymon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Diymon, lions upon him that escapes of Mo'av, and upon the remnant of the land.
