Isaiah 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.
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
aGr. cut to pieces.wounded. 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.
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. 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. 6 The
water of Nemerim shall be desolate, and the grass thereof shall fail: for
there shall be no green grass. 7 Shall
Moab even thus be delivered? for I
will bring the Arabians upon the valley, and they
shall take it. 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 Ælim. 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.
