The burden of Moab. For in a night, Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. For in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. See also: Amos 2:1-3Jeremiah 48:1-47Numbers 21:28They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off. See also: Jeremiah 48:1Leviticus 21:5Jeremiah 47:5In their streets, they clothe themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly. See also: Jonah 3:6-8Isaiah 22:1Isaiah 15:2Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them. See also: Jeremiah 48:34Joshua 13:18Numbers 32:3-4My heart cries out for Moab! Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for on the way to Horonaim, they raise up a cry of destruction. See also: Jeremiah 48:5Jeremiah 4:20Jeremiah 48:31-36For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing. See also: Numbers 32:36Joel 1:10-12Isaiah 19:5-7Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the brook of the willows. See also: Jeremiah 48:36Nahum 2:12-13Psalms 137:1-2For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab, its wailing to Eglaim, and its wailing to Beer Elim. See also: Jeremiah 48:31-34Ezekiel 47:10Isaiah 15:2-5For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more on Dimon, a lion on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land. See also: 2 Kings 17:25Jeremiah 50:17Amos 5:19

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
