A Prophecy Against Moab(A)

15 The oracle of Moab.

Surely in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste
    and brought to silence,
surely in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste
    and brought to silence,
he has gone up to the temple and to Dibon,
    the high places, to weep.
    Moab shall wail over Nebo and over Medeba;
on all their heads shall be baldness,
    and every beard cut off.
In their streets they shall clothe themselves with sackcloth;
    on the tops of their houses and in their streets,
everyone shall wail,
    weeping abundantly.
