3In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth;
         On their housetops and in their squares
         Everyone is wailing, dissolved in tears.

4Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
         Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
         Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
         His soul trembles within him.

5My heart cries out for Moab;
         His fugitives are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
         For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping;
         Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their ruin.

6For the waters of Nimrim are desolate.
         Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass died out,
         There is no green thing.

7Therefore the abundance which they have acquired and stored up
         They carry off over the brook of Arabim.

8For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab,
         Its wail goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.

9For the waters of Dimon are full of blood;
         Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon,
         A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
