5. My heart cries out over Moab. Some who run away get as far as Zoar. Others run all the way to Eglath Shelishiyah. Others go up the road to Luhith. They are sobbing as they go. Still others travel the road to Horonaim. They sing a song of sadness because their town is being destroyed.
6. The waters at Nimrim are dried up. And so is the grass. The plants have died. Nothing green is left.
7. The people are trying to escape through the Valley of the Poplar Trees. They are carrying with them the wealth they have collected and stored up.
8. Their loud cries echo along the border of Moab. They reach as far as Eglaim. Their songs of sadness reach all the way to Beer Elim.
