* The burden against Moab . Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste And destroyed , Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste And destroyed , * 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 . * In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth ; On the tops of their houses And in their streets Everyone will wail , weeping bitterly . * 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 . * "My heart will cry out for Moab ; His fugitives shall flee to Zoar , Like a three-year-old heifer . For by the Ascent of Luhith They will go up with weeping ; For in the way of Horonaim They will raise up a cry of destruction , * For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate , For the green grass has withered away ; The grass fails , there is nothing green . * Therefore the abundance they have gained , And what they have laid up , They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows . * For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab , Its wailing to Eglaim And its wailing to Beer Elim . * For the waters of Dimon will be full of blood ; Because I will bring more upon Dimon , Lions upon him who escapes from Moab , And on the remnant of the land ." * Send the lamb to the ruler of the land , From Sela to the wilderness , To the mount of the daughter of Zion . * For it shall be as a wandering bird thrown out of the nest ; So shall be the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon . * "Take counsel , execute judgment ; Make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day ; Hide the outcasts , Do not betray him who escapes . * Let My outcasts dwell with you , O Moab ; Be a shelter to them from the face of the spoiler . For the extortioner is at an end , Devastation ceases , The oppressors are consumed out of the land . * In mercy the throne will be established ; And One will sit on it in truth , in the tabernacle of David , Judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness ." * We have heard of the pride of Moab -- He is very proud -- Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath ; But his lies shall not be so . * Therefore Moab shall wail for Moab ; Everyone shall wail . For the foundations of Kir Hareseth you shall mourn ; Surely they are stricken . * For the fields of Heshbon languish , And the vine of Sibmah ; The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants , Which have reached to Jazer And wandered through the wilderness . Her branches are stretched out , They are gone over the sea . * Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah , With the weeping of Jazer ; I will drench you with my tears , O Heshbon and Elealeh ; For battle cries have fallen Over your summer fruits and your harvest . * Gladness is taken away , And joy from the plentiful field ; In the vineyards there will be no singing , Nor will there be shouting ; No treaders will tread out wine in the presses ; I have made their shouting cease . * Therefore my heart shall resound like a harp for Moab , And my inner being for Kir Heres . * And it shall come to pass , When it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place , That he will come to his sanctuary to pray ; But he will not prevail . * This is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning Moab since that time . * But now the LORD has spoken , saying , "Within three years , as the years of a hired man , the glory of Moab will be despised with all that great multitude , and the remnant will be very small and feeble ." * The burden against Damascus . "Behold , Damascus will cease from being a city , And it will be a ruinous heap .
