“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.” (Isaiah 15:1-9 AV)
