Dual Panel1Here is a message <04853> about Moab <04124>: Indeed <03588>, in a night <03915> it is devastated <07703>, Ar <06144> of Moab <04124> is destroyed <01820>! Indeed <03588>, in a night <03915> it is devastated <07703>, Kir <07024> of Moab <04124> is destroyed <01820>!
2They went up <05927> to the temple <01004>, the people of Dibon <01769> went up to the high places <01116> to lament <01065>. Because of what happened to Nebo <05015> and Medeba <04311>, Moab <04124> wails <03213>. Every <03605> head <07218> is shaved bare <07144>, every <03605> beard <02206> is trimmed off <01639>.
3In their streets <02351> they wear <02296> sackcloth <08242>; on <05921> their roofs <01406> and in their town squares <07339> all <03605> of them wail <03213>, they fall down <03381> weeping <01065>.
4The people of Heshbon <02809> and Elealeh <0500> cry out <02199>, their voices <06963> are heard <08085> as far away <05704> as Jahaz <03096>. For this reason <03651> <05921> Moab’s <04124> soldiers <02502> shout <07321> in distress <03415>; their courage wavers.
5My heart <03820> cries out <02199> because of Moab’s <04124> plight, and for the fugitives <01280> stretched out as far as <05704> Zoar <06820> and Eglath Shelishiyah <07992>. For <03588> they weep <01065> as they make their way up <05927> the ascent <04608> of Luhith <03872>; they loudly <05782> lament <02201> their demise <07667> on the road <01870> to Horonaim <02773>.
6For <03588> the waters <04325> of Nimrim <05249> are gone <04923>; the grass <02682> is dried <03001> up, the vegetation <01877> has disappeared <03615>, and there are <01961> no <03808> plants <03418>.
7For this reason <03651> what they have <03502> made <06213> and stored up <06486>, they carry over <05375> the Stream <05158> of the Poplars <06155>.
8Indeed <03588>, the cries of distress <02201> echo throughout <05362> Moabite <04124> territory <01366>; their wailing <03215> can be heard in <05704> Eglaim <097> and Beer Elim <0879>.
9Indeed <03588>, the waters <04325> of Dimon <01775> are full <04390> of blood <01818>! Indeed <03588>, I will heap <07896> even more trouble on Dimon <01775>. A lion <0738> will attack the Moabite <04124> fugitives <06413> and the people left <07611> in the land <0127>.
