4.
And Heshbon and Elealeh cried out; as far as Jahaz, their voice was heard; therefore, the armed men of Moab shall cry in alarm; their soul shall cry for them.

My heart shall cry out for Moab; its bars as far as Zoar as a third-born heifer; for the ascent of Haluhith, amidst weeping shall they ascend it, for in the way of Horonaim, a cry of destruction they shall raise.

9.
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will place upon Dimon additions; for the survivors of Moab is the lion, and for the remnant is the land.
