Isaiah 15

CHAPTER 15

1The burden of Moab. For Ar was destroyed in night, Moab was still; for the wall was destroyed in the night, Moab was still.

2The king’s house, and Dibon ascended [or went up] to high places , into wailing; on Nebo, and on Medeba, Moab shall yell. In all heads thereof shall be baldness, and each beard shall be shaved.

3In the meeting of three ways thereof they be girded in a sackcloth, all yelling on the houses thereof, and in the streets thereof; it shall go down into weeping.

4Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh, the voice of them is heard till to Jahaz; on this thing the ready men of Moab shall yell, the soul thereof shall yell to itself.

5Mine heart shall cry to Moab, the bars thereof till to Zoar, a cow calf of three years. For why a weeper shall go up by the going up of Luhith, and in the way of Horonaim they shall raise cry of sorrow [or contrition] .

6For why the waters of Nimrim shall be forsaken; for the herb dried up, burgeoning failed, all greenness perished.

7By the greatness of work, and the visiting of them, to the strand [or stream] of sallows they shall lead them.

8For why their cry compassed the end of Moab; till to Eglaim the yelling thereof, and the cry thereof till to the well of Elim.

9For the waters of Dimon be filled with blood; for I shall set increasings on Dimon, to those men of Moab that fled from the lion, and to the remnants of the land.
