Cursed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.

You shall beget sons and daughters, and they shall not be [yours], for they shall depart into captivity.

Woe to you, Moab! You are lost, O people of Chemosh! Their sons are sold for preservation, and their daughters are captives to Sihon king of the Amorites.

And behold, your fathers have been smitten with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.

And some said, We [are] numerous with our sons and our daughters; so we will take grain, and eat, and live.

And some said, We have borrowed money for the king's tributes- our fields, and our vineyards, and houses [are pledged].

And I will completely scatter them; in the gates of My people they are bereaved of children. They have destroyed My people because of their iniquities.

She that bore seven is spent; her soul has fainted under trouble; her sun is gone down while it is yet noon; she is ashamed and disgraced. I will give the remnant of them to the sword before their enemies.

And there shall be no son born to you, nor daughter in this place.

They shall die a grievous death. They shall not be lamented [over], nor buried; they shall be for an example on the face of the earth; and they shall be for the wild beasts of the land, and for the birds of the sky. They shall fall by the sword, and shall be consumed with famine.

And you, son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take their strength from them, the pride of their boasting, the desires of their eyes, and the pride of their soul, their sons and their daughters,

and you have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the children of the Greeks, that you might expel them from their coasts.

Be in pain, and strengthen yourself, and draw near, O daughter of Zion, as a woman in labor: for now you shall go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the plain, and you shall reach even to Babylon: there shall the Lord your God deliver you, and there shall He redeem you out of the hand of your enemies.

Moreover among those nations He will not give you quiet, neither by any means shall the sole of your foot have rest; and the Lord shall give you there another and a misgiving heart, and failing eyes, and a wasting soul.

But safety shall fail them, for their hope is destruction, and the eyes of the ungodly shall waste away.

He shall promise mischief to [his] companions: but [their] eyes have failed for their children.

I am weary [of] crying, my throat has become hoarse; my eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.

My eyes failed [from searching] for Your word, saying, When will You comfort me?

My eyes have failed for Your salvation, and for the word of Your righteousness.

As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn; for my eyes have failed from looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me,

CHAPH. My eyes have failed with tears, my heart is troubled, my glory is cast down to the ground, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; while the infant and suckling swoon in the streets of the city.

PHE. While we yet lived our eyes failed, while we looked in vain for our help. TSADE. We looked to a nation that could not save.

For this has grief come; our heart is sorrowful: for this our eyes are darkened.
