1The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;[ † ]2 Kings 3:4Deuteronomy 2:9Numbers 21:28Isaiah 15:1-16:14Jeremiah 25:21Jeremiah 48:1-47Amos 2:1-3Zephaniah 2:8-11 2He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.[ † ]Leviticus 21:5Jeremiah 48:37 3In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.[ † ]Jeremiah 48:38
4And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.[ † ]Numbers 21:28Numbers 32:3Jeremiah 48:34 5My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: 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 of destruction.[ † ]Isaiah 16:11Jeremiah 48:31Jeremiah 48:5 6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.[ † ]Numbers 32:36
7Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows. 8For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim. 9For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.[ † ]2 Kings 17:25Jeremiah 50:17
