Isaiah 15
- 1The 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.
- 2He has 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.
- 3In their streets they shall put on rough mourning clothes: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
- 4And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even to Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out. His soul trembles within him.
- 5My heart shall cry out for Moab. His fugitives shall flee to Zoar, a young cow 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.
- 6For the waters of Nimrim shall be ruined. For the hay is withered away, the grass fails, there is no green thing.
- 7Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
- 8For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab, its howling to Eglaim, and its howling to Beerelim.
- 9For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood. For I will bring more on Dimon, lions on him who escapes of Moab, and on the remnant of the land.
