* The burden of Moab : Because in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste ; it is cut off ; because in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste ; it is cut off . * One goes up to the house , even to Dibon , the high places , to weep . Moab shall howl over Nebo and over Medeba ; all its heads shall be bald , every beard shorn . * They shall dress with sackcloth in the streets ; everyone shall howl on their housetops and in their plazas , melting in tears . * And Heshbon and Elealeh shall cry ; their voice shall be heard as far as Jahaz ; so the warriors of Moab shall shout ; his life is broken to him . * My heart shall cry to Moab ; her fugitives to Zoar , a heifer of three years ; he goes up the ascent of Luhith with weeping , for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of ruin . * For Nimrim 's waters are desolations ; for the hay is dried up ; the grass fails ; there is not a green thing . * On account of this one made up the remainder , and their store ; they shall carry them over the torrent of the willows . * For the cry has gone around Moab 's borders ; his howling even to Eglaim ; and his howling even to the Well of Elim . * For Dimon 's waters are full of blood ; for I will put more on Dimon , a lion on him who escapes from Moab , and for the remnant of the land . * Send a lamb to the ruler of the land , from the rock of the desert to the mount of the daughter of Zion . * For it is as a fleeing bird cast out of the nest ; the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon . * Take counsel ; do judgment ; make your shadow as the night in midday ; hide the outcasts ; do not uncover the fugitive ! * Let My outcasts tarry with you , Moab . Be a hiding place to them from the face of the destroyer . For the exacter has ceased , destruction has failed ; the trampler is ended out of the land . * And in mercy the throne shall be founded ; and he shall sit on it in truth in the tabernacle of David , judging and seeking justice , and swift in righteousness . * We have heard of the pride of Moab , very proud ; of his pride , his arrogance , and his rage ; not so are his babblings . * So Moab shall howl for Moab ; everyone shall howl ; all of it shall howl for the foundations of Kir-hareseth ; surely they are stricken . * For the fields of Heshbon droop , the vine of Sibmah . The masters of the nations have crushed its choice plants . They have come to Jazer ; they wander in the desert ; her branches are spread out ; they have crossed the sea . * On account of this I will weep with the weeping of Jazer , the vine of Sibmah ; I will drench you with my tears , O Heshbon and Elealeh ; for shouting has fallen on your fruit and on your harvest . * And gladness and joy is gathered up from the fruitful field ; and there is no singing and no shouting in the vineyards ; the treaders shall not tread out wine in the presses ; I have made the exultation to cease . * For this reason my belly shall sound like a harp for Moab , and my inward parts for Kir-haresh . * And it shall be , when it is seen that Moab shall be wearied on the high place , then he shall come to his shrine to pray , and he shall not be able . * This is the word that Jehovah had spoken to Moab from that time . * But now Jehovah has spoken , saying , Within three years , as the years of a hireling , then the glory of Moab will be abased , with all the great host ; and the remnant shall be few ; small , not mighty . * The burden of Damascus : Behold , Damascus is taken away from being a city , and it shall be a ruined heap .
