# Chapter 15
|
|
1 An oracle concerning Moab.
|
|
Because Ar of Moab is laid waste in a night,
|
|
Moab is undone;
|
|
because Kir of Moab is laid waste in a night,
|
|
Moab is undone.
|
|
2 He has gone up to the temple, and to Dibon,
|
|
to the high places to weep;
|
|
over Nebo and over Medeba
|
|
Moab wails.
|
|
On every head is baldness;
|
|
every beard is shorn;
|
|
3 in the streets they wear sackcloth;
|
|
on the housetops and in the squares
|
|
everyone wails and melts in tears.
|
|
4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;
|
|
their voice is heard as far as Jahaz;
|
|
therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
|
|
his soul trembles.
|
|
5 My heart cries out for Moab;
|
|
her fugitives flee to Zoar,
|
|
to Eglath-shelishiyah.
|
|
For at the ascent of Luhith
|
|
they go up weeping;
|
|
on the road to Horonaim
|
|
they raise a cry of destruction;
|
|
6 the waters of Nimrim
|
|
are a desolation;
|
|
the grass is withered, the vegetation fails,
|
|
the greenery is no more.
|
|
7 Therefore the abundance they have gained
|
|
and what they have laid up
|
|
they carry away
|
|
over the Brook of the Willows.
|
|
8 For a cry has gone
|
|
around the land of Moab;
|
|
her wailing reaches to Eglaim;
|
|
her wailing reaches to Beer-elim.
|
|
9 For the waters of Dibon are full of blood;
|
|
for I will bring upon Dibon even more,
|
|
a lion for those of Moab who escape,
|
|
for the remnant of the land. |
