15:1 THE WORD AGAINST THE LAND OF MOAB. By
night the land of Moab shall be destroyed; for by night the wall of the land
of Moab shall be destroyed.
15:2 Grieve for yourselves; for even Debon, where your altar is, shall be
destroyed: thither shall ye go up to weep, over Nabau of the land of Moab:
howl ye: baldness shall be on every head, [and] all arms [shall be] wounded.
15:3 Gird yourselves with sackcloth in her streets: and lament upon her
roofs, and in her streets, and in her ways; howl all of you with weeping.
15:4 For Esebon and Eleale have cried: their voice was heard to Jassa:
therefore the loins of the region of Moab cry aloud; her soul shall know.
15:5 The heart of the region of Moab cries within her to Segor; for it is
[as] a heifer of three years old: and on the ascent of Luith they shall go
up to thee weeping by the way of Aroniim: she cries, Destruction, and
trembling.
15:6 The water of Nemerim shall be desolate, and the grass thereof shall
fail: for there shall be no green grass.
15:7 Shall [Moab] even thus be delivered? for I [will] bring the Arabians
upon the valley, and they shall take it.
15:8 For the cry has reached the border of the region of Moab, [even] of
Agalim; and her howling [has gone] as far as the well of Aelim.
15:9 And the water of Dimon shall be filled with blood: for I will bring
Arabians upon Dimon, and I will take away the seed of Moab, and Ariel, and
the remnant of Adama. |
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. |
