| Chapter 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. |
