My heart cries out for Moab;
    his fugitives flee to Zo′ar,
    to Eg′lath-shelish′iyah.
For at the ascent of Luhith
    they go up weeping;
on the road to Horona′im
    they raise a cry of destruction;
the waters of Nimrim

    the verdure is no more.

    and what they have laid up
they carry away
    over the Brook of the Willows.
