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; | La charge de Moab; parce que Har de Moab a été ravagée de nuit, il a été défait; parce que Kir de Moab a été saccagée de nuit, il a été défait. | The burden of Moab.
