Dual PanelMoab will be punished
1This is a message about Moab: The towns of Ar and Kir were destroyed in a night. Moab is left in ruins!
2Everyone in Dibon has gone up to the temple and the shrines to cry and weep. All of Moab is crying. Heads and beards are shaved because of what happened at Nebo and Medeba.
3In the towns and at home, everyone wears sackcloth and cries loud and long.
4From Heshbon and Elealeh, weeping is heard in Jahaz; Moab's warriors scream while trembling with fear.
Pity Moab
5 I pity Moab! Its people are running to Zoar and to Eglath-Shelishiyah. They cry on their way up to the town of Luhith; on the road to Horonaim they tell of disasters.
6The streams of Nimrim and the grasslands have dried up. Every plant is parched.
7The people of Moab are leaving, crossing over Willow Brook, taking everything they own and have worked for.
8In the towns of Eglaim and of Beerelim and everywhere else in Moab mournful cries are heard.
9The streams near Dimon are flowing with blood. But the Lord will bring even worse trouble to Dimon, because all in Moab who escape will be attacked by lions.
