of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing; for in a night Kir of Moab
onclick="NoteClicked(this,358);return false;">Kir
of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.

{15:2} They have gone up to Bayith
, and to Dibon
, to the high places
, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba
. Baldness
is on all of their heads. Every beard
is cut off.

{15:3} In their streets, they clothe themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.

{15:4} Heshbon
cries out with Elealeh
. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz
. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.

{15:5} My heart
cries out for Moab! Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith
with weeping; for in the way of Horonaim
, they raise up a cry of destruction.

{15:6} For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass
has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.

{15:7} Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the brook of the willows
.

{15:8} For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing to Eglaim
, and its wailing to Beer Elim
.

{15:9} For the waters of Dimon are full of blood
; for I will bring yet more on Dimon, a lion
on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land.
