How is it broken down! {\i how} do they wail! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all that are round about him.
How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger!\par\tab He hath cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel,\par\tab And hath not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people!\par\tab She is become as a widow, that was great among the nations!\par\tab She that was a princess among the provinces is become tributary!
