1The rulers of Moab will say to each other,
2The women of Moab will be left alone at the ◄fords of/places where people can walk across► the Arnon River;
3They will cry out, ‘Help us!
4Allow those of us who are fleeing from Moab to stay with you;
5Then Yahweh will appoint someone to be king
6We people of Judah have heard about the people of Moab;
7Some day all the people in Moab will weep.
8The crops in the fields at Heshbon city will wither,
9So I will weep for Jazer
10People will no longer be glad at harvest time.
11I cry inwardly for Moab;
12The people of Moab will go and pray at their sacred shrines,
13Yahweh has already spoken those things about Moab.
14But now he says that exactly three years from now, he will destroy all the things that the people of Moab have been proud of. Even though they have a huge number of people in Moab now, only a few people will remain alive, and they will be weak/helpless.
