1. The oracle of Moab. Surely in the night Ar of Moab is laid wasteand brought to silence,surely in the night Kir of Moab is laid wasteand brought to silence,
2. he has gone up to the temple and to Dibon,the high places, to weep.Moab shall wail over Nebo and over Medeba;on all their heads shall be baldness,and every beard cut off.
3. In their streets they shall clothe themselves with sackcloth;on the tops of their houses and in their streets,everyone shall wail,weeping abundantly.
4. Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh;their voice shall be heard even to Jahaz;therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out;his life shall be grievous to him.
