Oracle Of Judgment On Moab

5 Mine own heart, for Moab continueth to make outcry, Her fugitive, as far as Zoar, is like a heifer of three years; For the accent of Luhith, with weeping, they ascend, For by the way of Horonaim - an outcry of destruction, they excite; 6 For, the waters of Nimrim, shall become desolation, - For grass, hath dried up, Herbage hath failed, Green thing, hath not sprung up! 7 For this cause, the savings they had made and that which they had stored, Over the torrent-bed of the willows, shall they bear them.
