Isaiah Chapter 15 Back Next{15:1} The burden of Moab: for in a night,
Ar 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.
