Isaiah 15
1The 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; ▼▼brought...: or, cut off
2He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall wail over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shorn. 3In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall wail, weeping abundantly. ▼▼weeping...: Heb. descending into weeping, or, coming down with weeping
4And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even to Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous to him. 5My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee to Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for they shall go up the ascent of Luhith with weeping for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise a cry of destruction. ▼▼his...: or, to the borders thereof, even to Zoar, as an heifer
,
▼▼destruction: Heb. breaking
6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the herb is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing. ▼▼desolate: Heb. desolations
7Therefore the abundance they have gained, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows. ▼▼brook...: or, valley of the Arabians
8For the cry hath gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing to Eglaim, and its howling to Beerelim. 9For 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. ▼▼more: Heb. additions
