MoabH4124 wailsH3213 overH5921 NeboH5015 and MedebaH4311; Everyone’sH3605 headH7218 is 6baldH7144 and everyH3605 beardH2206 is cutH1639 offH1639.3In their streetsH2351 they have putH2296 onH2296 7sackclothH8242; 8On their housetopsH1406 and in their publicH7339 squaresH7339 EveryoneH3605 isH3213 wailingH3213, 910overcomeH3381 with weepingH1065.411HeshbonH2809 and ElealehH500 also cryH2199 outH2199, Their voiceH6963 is heardH8085 allH5704 theH5704 wayH5704 toH5704 JahazH3096; ThereforeH5921H3651 the 12armedH2502 men of MoabH4124 cryH7321 aloudH7321; His soulH5315 tremblesH3415 within him.5My heartH3820 criesH2199 outH2199 for MoabH4124; His fugitivesH1281 are as farH5704 as 13ZoarH6820 and Eglath-shelishiyahH5700H7992, For they goH5927 upH5927 the 14ascentH4608 of LuhithH3872 weepingH1065; IndeedH3588, on the roadH1870 to HoronaimH2773 they raiseH5782 a cryH2201 ofH2201 distressH2201 15over their collapseH7667.6For the 16watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 are 17desolateH4923. IndeedH3588, the grassH2682 is witheredH3001, the newH1877 growthH1877 has diedH3615, There is 18noH3808 greeneryH3418.7ThereforeH5921H3651 the 19abundanceH3502 which they have acquiredH6213 and storedH6486 up, They carryH5375 it off overH5921 the brookH5158 of 20ArabimH6155.8For the cryH2201 ofH2201 distressH2201 has goneH5362 aroundH5362 the territoryH1366 of MoabH4124, Its wailingH3215 goes as farH5704 as EglaimH97 and its howlingH3215 to Beer-elimH879.9For the watersH4325 of DimonH1775 are fullH4390 of 21bloodH1818; I will certainlyH3588 bringH7896 addedH3254 woes upon DimonH1775, A 22lionH743 upon the fugitivesH6413 of MoabH4124 and the remnantH7611 of the landH127.
