Isaiah 15:1–9
Because in the night bAr of cMoab is laid waste
And destroyed,
Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,
2 He has gone up to the 2temple and Dibon,
To the high places to weep.
Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba;
dOn all their heads will be baldness,
And every beard cut off.
3 In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth;
On the tops of their houses
And in their streets
Everyone will wail, eweeping bitterly.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out,
Their voice shall be heard as far as fJahaz;
Therefore the 3armed soldiers of Moab will cry out;
His life will be burdensome to him.
5 “My gheart will cry out for Moab;
His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
Like 4a three-year-old heifer.
For hby the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction,
6 For the waters iof Nimrim will be desolate,
For the green grass has withered away;
The grass fails, there is nothing green.
7 Therefore the abundance they have gained,
And what they have laid up,
They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.
8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.
9 For the waters of 5Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon 5Dimon,
jLions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”
