to weep for the vines of Sibmah;
I drench Heshbon and Elealeh with my tears.

over your summer fruit and your harvest.

Therefore I am filled with anguish.
Pain grips me, like the pain of a woman in labor.
I am too perplexed to hear,
too dismayed to see.

Therefore I said,
“Look away from me! Let me weep bitterly!
Do not try to comfort me
about the destruction of my dear people.”

My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in agony!
Oh, the pain in my heart!
My heart pounds;
I cannot be silent.
For you, my soul,
have heard the sound of the ram’s horn—
the shout of battle.

If my head were a spring of water,

my eyes a fountain of tears,
I would weep day and night
over the slain of my dear people.

and a companion of ostriches.

I am like a desert owl,
like an owl among the ruins.
