Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;
their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz.(A)
Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out,
and they tremble.[a]
My heart cries out over Moab,
whose fugitives flee as far as Zoar,(B)
to Eglath-shelishiyah;
they go up the slope of Luhith weeping;
they raise a cry of destruction
on the road to Horonaim.
The waters of Nimrim(C) are desolate;
the grass is withered, the foliage is gone,
and the vegetation has vanished.
