Isaiah 15 1The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste,
[and] brought to nought; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste,
[and] brought to nought. 2They are gone up to Bayith, and to
Dibon, to the high places, to weep: Moab waileth over Nebo, and over
Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off. 3In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; on their
housetops, and in their broad places, every one waileth, weeping
abundantly. 4And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is
heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his
soul trembleth within him. 5My heare crieth out for Moab; her
nobles [flee] unto Zoar, to Eglath-shelishi-yah: for by the ascent of
Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise
up a cry of destruction. 6For the waters of Nimrim shall be
desolate; for the grass is withered away, the tender grass faileth,
there is no green thing. 7Therefore the abundance they have
gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away over
the brook of the willows. 8For the cry is gone round about the
borders of Moab; the wailing thereof unto Eglaim, and the wailing
thereof unto Beer-elim. 9For the waters of Dimon are full of
blood; for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon them of Moab
that escape, and upon the remnant of the land. Average revision: 0 (ASV Unaltered)
