4 Heshbon (stronghold) and Elealeh (God is ascending) cry out; their voices are heard as far as Jahaz (trodden down). Therefore the soldiers of Moab (of his father) cry out; their souls tremble within. 5 My heart cries out over Moab (of his father); her fugitives flee as far as Zoar (insignificance), as far as Eglath-shelishiyah (Zoar, like a heifer three years of age.). With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith (tablets); they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim (two caves). 6 The waters of Nimrim (pure) are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more. 7 So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows (Poplars). 8 For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab (of his father). Their wailing reaches Eglaim (double reservoir); it is heard in Beer-elim (well of God). 9 The waters of Dimon [Dibon] are full of blood, but I will bring more upon Dimon (river bed / silence)—a lion upon the fugitives of Moab (of his father) and upon the remnant of the land.
