The oracle concerning Moab.
Surely in a night Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined;
Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.

Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail.
You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth
As those who are utterly stricken.

Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab
And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.

Elam took up the quiver
With the chariots, infantry and horsemen;
And Kir uncovered the shield.
