Isaiah 15
|
|
| 15:1
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; |
|
| 15:2
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. |
|
| 15:3
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. |
|
| 15:4
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. |
|
| 15:5
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. |
|
| 15:6
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away,
the grass faileth, there is no green thing. |
|
| 15:7
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid
up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows. |
|
| 15:8
For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof
unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim. |
|
| 15:9 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.
|

After God destroys Moab, the rivers will be red with blood. He will send lions to
eat any survivors.
