The Prophecy
of Isaias 15
The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab
is laid waste, it is silent: because the wall of Moab
is destroyed in the night, it is silent.
The house is gone up, and Dibon to the high places to
mourn over Nabo, and over Medaba, Moab hath howled:
ton all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard
shall be shaven.
In their streets they are girded with sackcloth: on
the tops of their houses, and in their streets all shall
howl and come down weeping.
Hesebon shall cry, and Eleale, their voice is heard
even to Jasa. For this shall the well appointed men
of Moab howl, his soul shall howl to itself.
My heart shall cry to Moab, the bars thereof shall flee
unto Segor a heifer of three years old: for by the ascent
of Luith they shall go up weeping: and in the way of
Oronaim they shall lift up a cry of destruction.
For the waters of Nemrim shall be desolate, for the
grass is withered away, the spring is faded, all the
greenness is perished.
According to the greatness of their work, is their visitation
also: they shall lead them to the torrent of the willows.
For the cry is gone round about the border of Moab:
the howling thereof unto Gallim, and unto the well of
Elim the cry thereof.
For the waters of Dibon are filled with blood: for I
will bring more upon Dibon: the lion upon them that
shall flee of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land. |
