The Book of Isaiah
Chapter Fifteen
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 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 faileth, 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 that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
