1Profecía sobre Moab. Cierto, de noche fue destruida Ar de Moab, puesta en silencio. Cierto, de noche fue destruida Kir de Moab, reducida a silencio.
2Subió a Bayit y a Dibón, lugares altos, a llorar; sobre Nebo y sobre Medeba aullará Moab; toda cabeza de ella será rapada, y toda barba rasurada.
3Se ceñirán de cilicio en sus calles; en sus terrados y en sus plazas aullarán todos, deshaciéndose en llanto.
4Hesbón y Eleale gritarán, hasta Jahaza se oirá su voz; por lo que aullarán los guerreros de Moab, se lamentará el alma de cada uno dentro de él.
5Mi corazón dará gritos por Moab; sus fugitivos huirán hasta Zoar, como novilla de tres años. Por la cuesta de Luhit subirán llorando, y levantarán grito de quebrantamiento por el camino de Horonaim.
6Las aguas de Nimrim serán consumidas, y se secará la hierba, se marchitarán los retoños, todo verdor perecerá.
7Por tanto, las riquezas que habrán adquirido, y las que habrán reservado, las llevarán al torrente de los sauces.
8Porque el llanto rodeó los límites de Moab; hasta Eglaim llegó su alarido, y hasta Beer-elim su clamor.
9Y las aguas de Dimón se llenarán de sangre; porque yo traeré sobre Dimón males mayores, leones a los que escaparen de Moab, y a los sobrevivientes de la tierra.

weeping abundantly--"melting away in tears." HORSLEY prefers "descending to weep." Thus there is a "parallelism by alternate construction" [LOWTH], or chiasmus; "howl" refers to "tops of houses." "Descending to weep" to "streets" or squares, whither they descend from the housetops.

Heshbon--an Amorite city, twenty miles east of Jordan; taken by Moab after the carrying away of Israel (compare Jer. 48:1-47).
Elealeh--near Heshbon, in Reuben.
Jahaz--east of Jordan, in Reuben. Near it Moses defeated Sihon.
therefore--because of the sudden overthrow of their cities. Even the armed men, instead of fighting in defense of their land, shall join in the general cry.
life, &c.--rather, "his soul is grieved" (Sa1 1:8) [MAURER].

My--The prophet himself is moved with pity for Moab. Ministers, in denouncing the wrath of God against sinners, should do it with tender sorrow, not with exultation.
fugitives--fleeing from Moab, wander as far as to Zoar, on the extreme boundary south of the Dead Sea. HORSLEY translates, "her nobility," or "rulers" (Hos 4:18).
heifer, &c.--that is, raising their voices "like a heifer" (compare Jer 48:34, Jer 48:36). The expression "three years old," implies one at its full vigor (Gen 15:9), as yet not brought under the yoke; as Moab heretofore unsubdued, but now about to be broken. So Jer 31:18; Hos 4:13. MAURER translates, "Eglath" (in English Version, "a heifer") Shelishijah (that is, the third, to distinguish it from two others of the same name).
by the mounting up--up the ascent.
Luhith--a mountain in Moab.
Horonaim--a town of Moab not far from Zoar (Jer 48:5). It means "the two poles," being near caves.
cry of destruction--a cry appropriate to the destruction which visits their country.

For--the cause of their flight southwards (Kg2 3:19, Kg2 3:25). "For" the northern regions and even the city Nimrim (the very name of which means "limpid waters," in Gilead near Jordan) are without water or herbage.

V. Therefore--because of the devastation of the land.
Therefore--because of the devastation of the land.
abundance--literally, "that which is over and above" the necessaries of life.
brook of . . . willows--The fugitives flee from Nimrim, where the waters have failed, to places better watered. Margin has "valley of Arabians"; that is, to the valley on the boundary between them and Arabia-PetrÃ&brvbra; now Wady-el Arabah. "Arabia" means a "desert."

Eglaim-- (Eze 47:10), En-eglaim. Not the Agalum of EUSEBIUS, eight miles from Areopolis towards the south; the context requires a town on the very borders of Moab or beyond them.
Beer-elim--literally, "the well of the Princes"--(so Num 21:16-18). Beyond the east borders of Moab.

Versículo 9
VII. Dimon--same as Dibon (Isa 15:2). Its waters are the Arnon.
Dimon--same as Dibon (Isa 15:2). Its waters are the Arnon.
full of blood--The slain of Moab shall be so many.
bring more--fresh calamities, namely, the "lions" afterwards mentioned (Kg2 17:25; Jer 5:6; Jer 15:3). VITRINGA understands Nebuchadnezzar as meant by "the lion"; but it is plural, "lions." The "more," or in Hebrew, "additions," he explains of the addition made to the waters of Dimon by the streams of blood of the slain.
