King James VersionIsaiah15

Isaiah

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.
