Isaiah
Chapter 15
1 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.
2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep.
Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba.
On
all their heads shall be baldness,
and
every beard cut off.
3
In their streets
they
shall gird themselves with sackcloth.
On
the tops of their houses,
and
in their streets,
every
one shall howl,
weeping
abundantly.
4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh.
Their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz.
Therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out.
His life shall be grievous unto him.
5 My heart/'right lobe' shall cry out for Moab.
His
fugitives shall flee unto Zoar,
an
heifer of three years old.
For by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up.
For
in the way of Horonaim
they
shall raise up a cry of destruction.
6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate.
For
the hay is withered away,
the
grass fails . . .
there
is no green thing.
7
Therefore the abundance they have gotten,
and
that which they have laid up,
shall
they carry away to the brook of the willows.
8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab.
The
howling thereof unto Eglaim,
and
the howling thereof unto Beerelim.
9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood.
For
I will bring more upon Dimon,
lions
upon him who escapes of Moab,
and
upon the remnant of the land.
