^3 (A)All your rulers have fled together,
And have been captured ^[a]without the bow;
All of you who were found were taken captive together,
^[b]Though they had fled far away.
⁴ Therefore I say, “Look away from me,
Let me ^(B)weep bitterly,
Do not ^[c]try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
^5 (C)For the Lord ^[d]God of armies has a ^(D)day of panic, ^(E)subjugation, and confusion
^(F)In the valley of vision,
A breaking down of walls
And a crying ^[e]to the mountain.

⁴¹ Kerioth has been captured
And the strongholds have been seized,
So the ^(A)hearts of the warriors of Moab on that day
Will be like the heart of a ^(B)woman in labor.
