2He has gone up to the temple, and to Dibon, to the high places to weep; over Nebo and over Medeba Moab wails. On every head is baldness; every beard is shorn;2Dibon went up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails on Nebo and at Medeba. Every head is shaved; every beard is chopped short.
3in the streets they wear sackcloth; on the housetops and in the squares everyone wails and melts in tears.3In its streets they wear sackcloth; on its rooftops and in its public squares everyone wails, falling down and weeping.
4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voice is heard as far as Jahaz; therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembles.4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out, and they tremble.
5My heart cries out for Moab; her fugitives flee to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah. For at the ascent of Luhith they go up weeping; on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of destruction;5My heart cries out over Moab, whose fugitives flee as far as Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah; they go up the Ascent of Luhith weeping; they raise a cry of destruction on the road to Horonaim.
6the waters of Nimrim are a desolation; the grass is withered, the vegetation fails, the greenery is no more.6The Waters of Nimrim are desolate; the grass is withered, the foliage is gone, and the vegetation has vanished.
7Therefore the abundance they have gained and what they have laid up they carry away over the Brook of the Willows.7So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Wadi of the Willows.
8For a cry has gone around the land of Moab; her wailing reaches to Eglaim; her wailing reaches to Beer-elim.8For their cry echoes throughout the territory of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; their wailing reaches Beer-elim.
9For the waters of Dibon are full of blood; for I will bring upon Dibon even more, a lion for those of Moab who escape, for the remnant of the land.9The Waters of Dibon are full of blood, but I will bring on Dibon even more than this--a lion for those who escape from Moab, and for the survivors in the land.
