3. In their streets they shall put on sackcloth; on the tops of their houses and in their streets everyone wails, weeping bitterly.
4. And Ḥeshbon and El‛alĕh cry out, their voice shall be heard as far as Yahats. Therefore the armed ones of Mo’aḇ shout; his being shall tremble within him.
5. My own heart is toward Mo’aḇ; her fugitives cry unto Tso‛ar, like a three-year-old heifer. For by the ascent of Luḥith they go up with weeping; for in the way of Ḥoronayim they raise a cry of destruction.
6. For the waters of Nimrim are wastes, for the green grass has withered away; the grass fails, there is no greenness.
7. Therefore the wealth, acquired and stored up, they take away to the wadi of the Willows.
8. For the cry has gone all around the borders of Mo’aḇ, its wailing to Eg̅layim and its wailing to Be’ĕr Ělim.
