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 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.
3In
their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: 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 unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life
shall be grievous unto him.
5My 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.
6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the
grass faileth, 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 is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto
Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.
9For
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.
