Oh, how I grieve for Moab!Refugees stream to Zoarand then on to Eglath-shelishiyah.Up the slopes of Luhith they weep;on the road to Horonaim they cry their loss.The springs of Nimrim are dried up—grass brown, buds stunted, nothing grows.They leave, carrying all their possessionson their backs, everything they own,Making their way as best they canacross Willow Creek to safety.Poignant cries reverberateall through Moab,Gut-wrenching sobs as far as Eglaim,heart-racking sobs all the way to Beer-elim.The banks of the Dibon crest with blood,but God has worse in store for Dibon:A lion—a lion to finish off the fugitives,to clean up whoever’s left in the land.
