1 DBY The burden of Moab: For in the night of being laid waste, Ar of Moab is destroyed; for in the night of being laid waste, Kir of Moab is destroyed! BSB BSB: This is the burden against Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night!
2 DBY He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off.

3 DBY In their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears. BSB BSB: In its streets they wear sackcloth; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all wail, falling down weeping.
4 DBY And Heshbon crieth, and Elealeh: their voice is heard unto Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out: his soul trembleth in him. BSB BSB: Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out; their souls tremble within.
5 DBY My heart crieth out for Moab; their fugitives have fled unto Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah: for by the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up by it; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction. BSB BSB: My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith; they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
6 DBY For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the herbage is withered away, the grass hath failed, there is no green thing. BSB BSB: The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.
7 DBY Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows. BSB BSB: So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows.
8 DBY For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim. BSB BSB: For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; it is heard in Beer-elim.
9 DBY For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay yet more upon Dimon: a lion upon them that are escaped of Moab, and upon that which remaineth of the land. BSB BSB: The waters of Dimon are full of blood, but I will bring more upon Dimon—a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
