Isaiah 15
The Oracle concerning
Moab |
1 |
The burden of Moab. Is. 25.10-12 · Jer. 48.1-47 · Ezek.
25.8-11 · Amos
2.1-3 · 2.8-11
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
Me'deba: 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 Ele-a'leh;
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 Zo'ar, a heifer of three years old:
for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up;
for in the way of Horona'im 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 Eg'la-im, and the howling
thereof unto Beer-e'lim.
|
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.
