# My heart cries out for Moab
|
|
|
|
Here God is represented by his "heart" which emphasizes his emotions. God speaks of his great sadness as if his heart cried out. Alternate translation: "I am extremely sad about what is happening to Moab" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]] or [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# her fugitives flee
|
|
|
|
"the fugitives from Moab will flee." A fugitive is a person who runs away so that his enemy will not capture him.

# over their destruction
|
|
|
|
This can be reworded so that the abstract noun "destruction" is expressed as the verb "destroyed." Alternate translation: "because their city is destroyed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
