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. |
