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.
