[ edit] The charge of Moab. For in nyȝt waſtid is Ar, Moab heeld his pes; for in þe nyȝt waſtid is þe wal, Moab heeld his pes. Þer ſteȝede vp þe hous, and Debon to heeȝe þingus, in to weiling; vpon Nabo, and vp on Medaba Moab ſhal ȝellen. In alle his hedys ballidneſſe, and eche berd ſhal be ſhaue. In his þre weied places þei ben gird wiþ a ſac, vp on his rooues and in his ſtretes al weiling; he ſhal go doun in to wepyng. Þer ſhal crie Eſebon and Eleale, vn to Jaſa herd is þe vois of hem; vpon þis þe redi men of Moab ſhul ȝelle, his ſoule ſhal ȝelle to itſelf. Myn herte to Moab ſhal crien, his bareres vnto Segor, a ſhe calf al þrowende doun.

Bi þe ſteȝing vp forſoþe of Luyþ wepende he ſhal ſteȝen vp, and in þe weie of Oronaym þe cri of contricioun þei ſhul rere.

Aftir þe mykilneſſe of werk, and þe viſiting of hem, to þe ſtreme of wiþies þei ſhul leden hem. For cri cumpaſide þe terme of Moab; vnto Galym his ȝelling, and vnto þe pit of Elym his cry. For þe watris of Dibon ben fulfild wiþ blod; forſoþe I ſhal putte vpon Dibon ecchingus, to þem þat ſhul fleen of Moab a leoun, and to þe relikis of þe lond.
