Make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day;
Hide the outcasts,
Do not betray him who escapes.

Judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.”

Moreover, he will seek justice
And be prompt in righteousness.

Surely they are stricken.

You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth
As those who are utterly stricken.

As those who are utterly stricken.
For the fields of Heshbon languish,
And the vine of Sibmah;
The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants,
Which have reached to Jazer
And wandered through the wilderness.
Her branches are stretched out,
They are gone over the sea.
And the vine of Sibmah;
The lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants,
Which have reached to Jazer
And wandered through the wilderness.
Her branches are stretched out,
They are gone over the sea.
For the fields of Heshbon have withered, the vines of Sibmah as well;
The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters
Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts;
Its tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.

For the shouting over your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.

Gladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease.

In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,
No treader treads out wine in the presses,
For I have made the shouting to cease.

Therefore my heart intones like a harp for Moab
And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.
And my inward feelings for Kir-hareseth.
And it shall come to pass,
When it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place,
That he will come to his sanctuary to pray;
But he will not prevail.
