Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;
    their voices are heard as far as Jahaz;
therefore the loins of Moab quiver;[a]
    his soul trembles.
My heart cries out for Moab;
    his fugitives flee to Zoar,
    to Eglath-shelishiyah.
For at the ascent of Luhith
    they go up weeping;
on the road to Horonaim
    they raise a cry of destruction;(A)
the waters of Nimrim
    are a desolation;
the grass is withered; the new growth fails;
    vegetation is no more.(B)

  1. 15.4 Or the armed men of Moab cry aloud

Heshbon(A) and Elealeh(B) cry out,
    their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.(C)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
    and their hearts are faint.

My heart cries out(D) over Moab;(E)
    her fugitives(F) flee as far as Zoar,(G)
    as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
    weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaim(H)
    they lament their destruction.(I)
The waters of Nimrim are dried up(J)
    and the grass is withered;(K)
the vegetation is gone(L)
    and nothing green is left.(M)
