³ In the streets they wear sackcloth;^(A)
    on the roofs^(B) and in the public squares^(C)
they all wail,^(D)
    prostrate with weeping.^(E)
4 Heshbon^(F) and Elealeh^(G) cry out,
    their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.^(H)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
    and their hearts are faint.

⁵ My heart cries out^(I) over Moab;^(J)
    her fugitives^(K) flee as far as Zoar,^(L)
    as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
    weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaim^(M)
    they lament their destruction.^(N)
