The towns of Ar and Kir
were destroyed in a night.
    Moab is left in ruins!
² Everyone in Dibon has gone up
to the temple^[a] and the shrines
    to cry and weep.
All of Moab is crying.
Heads and beards are shaved^[b]
    because of what happened
    at Nebo and Medeba.
³ In the towns and at home,
everyone wears sackcloth
    and cries loud and long.
⁴ From Heshbon and Elealeh,
    weeping is heard in Jahaz;
Moab's warriors scream
    while trembling with fear.

⁵ I pity Moab!
Its people are running to Zoar
    and to Eglath-Shelishiyah.
They cry on their way up
    to the town of Luhith;
on the road to Horonaim
    they tell of disasters.
⁶ The streams of Nimrim
and the grasslands
    have dried up.
Every plant is parched.

⁷ The people of Moab are leaving,
    crossing over Willow Creek,
taking everything they own
    and have worked for.
⁸ In the towns of Eglaim
    and of Beerelim
and everywhere else in Moab
    mournful cries are heard.
⁹ The streams near Dimon
    are flowing with blood.
But the Lord will bring
    even worse trouble to Dimon,^[c]
because all in Moab who escape
    will be attacked by lions.
