1. This is a message about Moab:In one night armies took the wealth from Ar in Moab,and it was destroyed.In one night armies took the wealth from Kir in Moab,and it was destroyed.
2. The people of Dibon go to the places of worship to cry.The people of Moab cry for the cities of Nebo and Medeba.Every head and beard has been shaved to show how sad Moab is.
3. In the streets they wear rough cloth to show their sadness.On the roofs and in the public squares,they are crying loudly.
4. People in the cities Heshbon and Elealeh cry out loud.You can hear their voices far away in the city Jahaz.Even the soldiers are frightened;they are shaking with fear.
5. My heart cries with sorrow for Moab.Its people run away to Zoar for safety;they run to Eglath Shelishiyah.People are going up the mountain road to Luhith,crying as they go.People are going on the road to Horonaim,crying over their destruction.
