2 He is gone up to Bajith f, and to Dibon g, the high places, to weep h: Moab shall howl o∣ver Nebo, and over Medeba i, on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off k.
3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sack-cloth l: on the tops of their houses m, and in their streets n, every one shall howl † weeping abundantly.
4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh o: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz p: therefore the armed souldiers q of Moab shall cry out, his life shall be grievous unto him r.
5 My heart shall cry out for Moab s, ‖ his fu∣gitives t shall flee unto Zoar u, an heifer of three years old x: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up: for in the way of Horonaim, they shall raise up a cry y of † destruction z.
6 For the waters a of Nimrim shall be † de∣solate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing b.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they c car∣ry to the ‖ brook of the willows d.
