¶ The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to silence;

The burden {H4853} of Moab {H4124}. Because in the night {H3915} Ar {H6144} of Moab {H4124} is laid waste {H7703}, and brought to silence {H1820}; because in the night {H3915} Kir {H7024} of Moab {H4124} is laid waste {H7703}, and brought to silence {H1820};

This is a prophecy about Mo'av: The night 'Ar is sacked, Mo'av is ruined. The night Kir is sacked, Mo'av is ruined.

This is the burden against Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night!

The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nought; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nought.
