1The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; 2He is gone up to Bayith {Bajith}, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep; Moab shall wail {howl} over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off. 3In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth; on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall wail {howl}, weeping abundantly. 4And Heshbon shall cry out, and Elealeh; their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz; therefore, the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him. 5My (Isaiah's) heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah; {an heifer of three years old;} for by the ascent {mounting up} of Luhith with weeping shall they go {it} up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction. 6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing. 7Therefore, the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows. 8For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the wailing {howling} of it {thereof} unto Eglaim, and its {the} howling {thereof} unto Beer-elim. 9For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood; for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
