Bible, King James Version
Isaiah
Isa.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
Beer-elim.
[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.
