Oracle concerning Moab: In a night Ar of Moab is ruined; in a night Kir of Moab is destroyed and brought to silence. Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba; every head is shaved, every beard cut off; in streets they wear sackcloth, everyone wailing and melting in tears. The waters of Nimrim are desolate; grass is withered, vegetation fails; they carry their wealth across the Brook of Willows.
