3 In its streets they wear mourning clothes;on its rooftops and in its plazas, everyone wails and falls down weeping.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;as far as Jahaz their voice is heard.The armed men of Moab shout,spirits trembling.
5 My heart cries out for Moab.Its fugitives flee to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah.At the ascent of Luhith,each will go up with weeping.On the road to Horonaim,they will raise a piercing cry.
6 The waters of Nimrim are used up.Grass has withered;vegetation is dead;greenery is gone.
7 Therefore, they carry what they had stored up,all their provisions to the Valley of the Willows.
8 An outcry sounds within the borders of Moab,as far as Eglaim, a cry of distress,as far as Beer-elim, a cry of distress.
9 The waters of Dibon are full of blood.But I will bring still more upon Dibon:a lion for Moab’s survivors, for the remaining few in the land.
