15 *The aburden of bMoab.

Because cin the night dAr of Moab is laid waste, and ||brought to silence;

eBecause in the night fKir of Moab is laid waste, and ||brought to silence;

2  He is gone up to ffBajith, and to gDibon, hthe high places, to weep:

Moab ishall howl over kNebo, and over lMedeba:

On all their heads shall be mbaldness, and nevery beard cut off.

3  In their streets they shall ogird themselves with sackcloth:

pOn the tops of their houses, and pin their streets,

ppEvery one ishall howl, †weeping abundantly.

4  And qHeshbon shall cry, and rElealeh:

Their voice shall be heard even unto sJahaz:

Therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out;

His life shall be grievous unto him.

5  tMy heart shall cry out for Moab;

||His ufugitives shall flee unto vZoar,

wAn heifer of three years old:

For xby the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up;

For in the way of yHoronaim they shall raise up a cry of †destruction.

6  For zthe waters of aNimrim shall be †zdesolate:

For the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

7  bTherefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up,

Shall they carry away to the ||cbrook of the willows.

8  For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab;

The howling thereof unto dEglaim, and the howling thereof unto eBeer-elim.

9  For the waters of fDimon shall be full of blood:

For I will bring †more upon fDimon,

gLions upon hhim that escapeth of Moab,

And upon the remnant of the land.
