They shall howl, saying, How it is broken down! How has Moab turned his back in shame! And Moab shall be a mockery, and a terror to all those around him.
How alone sits the city that was full of people! She has become like a widow, one great among the nations; a noblewoman among the provinces has become a payer of tribute.
How the Lord has clouded over the daughter of Zion in His anger! He cast the beauty of Israel down from the heavens to the earth, and did not remember His footstool in the day of His wrath.
