Judgment on Moab
1 The 1Or burden oforacle concerning AIs 11:14; 25:10; Jer 48:1; Ezek 25:8-11; Amos 2:1-3; Zeph 2:8-11Moab.
Surely in a night BNum 21:28Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined;
Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.
2 They have gone up to the 1Lit housetemple and to AJer 48:18, 22Dibon, even to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone’s head is BLev 21:5; Jer 48:37bald and every beard is cut off.
3 In their streets they have girded themselves with AJon 3:6-8sackcloth;
BJer 48:38On their housetops and in their squares
Everyone is wailing, 1Lit going down in weepingCIs 22:4dissolved in tears.
4 ANum 21:28; 32:3; Jer 48:34Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore the 1Another reading is the loins ofarmed men of Moab cry aloud;
His soul trembles within him.
5 My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as AJer 48:34Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the BJer 48:5ascent of Luhith weeping;
Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress CIs 59:7; Jer 4:20over their ruin.
Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass 2Lit come to an enddied out,
There is BJoel 1:10-12; 2:3no green thing.
They carry off over the brook of 1Or the poplarsArabim.
8 For 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.
9 For the waters of Dimon are full of 1Heb dam (a wordplay)blood;
Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon,
A A2 Kin 17:25; Jer 50:17lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
