1 The burden against Moab.Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid wasteAnd destroyed,Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid wasteAnd destroyed,
2 He has gone up to the temple and Dibon,To the high places to weep.Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba;On all their heads will be baldness,And every beard cut off.
3 In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth;On the tops of their housesAnd in their streetsEveryone will wail, weeping bitterly.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out,Their voice shall be heard as far as Jahaz;Therefore the armed soldiers of Moab will cry out;His life will be burdensome to him.
