Chapter 15 - The Burden of Moab




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 howl1, 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 howling1 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.
