3. In their streets they wear sackcloth.On their roofs and in their city squares everyone wails and cries.
4. Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out.Their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz.Moab’s armed men cry out.Their courage is gone.
5. My heart cries out for Moab.Its people flee as far as Zoar at Eglath Shelishiyah.They go up the mountain road to Luhith.They cry loudly over the destruction on the way to Horonaim.
6. The Nimrim Brook has run dry!The grass dries up,the vegetation withers,and nothing green is left.
7. That is why they carry the wealth that they have earned and stored upover Willow Ravine.
8. Cries for help echo throughout the land of Moab.Their wailing echoes as far as Eglaim.Their wailing echoes as far as Beer Elim.
