⁵⁴ A voice of a cry `is' from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.

²² A noise of battle `is' in the land, and of great destruction.

³ A voice of a cry `is' from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.

⁴ Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.

⁵ For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.

⁴⁶ From the voice: Captured was Babylon, Hath the earth been shaken, And a cry among nations hath been heard!

⁶ Howl ye, for near `is' the day of Jehovah, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh.

⁷ Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth melt.

⁸ And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, The appearance of flames -- their faces!

⁹ Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth from it.

⁵ My heart `is' toward Moab, Cry do her fugitives unto Zoar, a heifer of the third `year', For -- the ascent of Luhith -- With weeping he goeth up in it, For, in the way of Horonaim, A cry of destruction they wake up.

²⁷ Slay all her kine, they go down to slaughter, Wo `is' on them, for come hath their day, The time of their inspection.

⁴³ Heard hath the king of Babylon their report, And feeble have been his hands, Distress hath seized him; pain as a travailing woman.

¹⁰ And there hath been in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, The noise of a cry from the fish-gate, And of a howling from the Second, And of great destruction from the hills.

¹⁷ `And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood,

¹⁸ and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What `city is' like to the great city?

¹⁹ and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness -- for in one hour was she made waste.
