Isaiah 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 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.
