A Pronouncement against Moab
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 15
|
|
1. A pronouncement concerning Moab:
|
|
Ar in Moab is devastated,
|
|
destroyed in a night.
|
|
Kir in Moab is devastated,
|
|
destroyed in a night.
|
|
|
|
2. Dibon went up to its temple
|
|
to weep at its high places.
|
|
Moab wails on Nebo and at Medeba.
|
|
Every head is shaved;
|
|
every beard is chopped short.
|
|
|
|
3. In its streets they wear sackcloth;
|
|
on its rooftops and in its public squares everyone wails,
|
|
falling down and weeping.
|
|
|
|
4. Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;
|
|
their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz.
|
|
Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out,
|
|
and they tremble.
|
|
|
|
5. My heart cries out over Moab,
|
|
whose fugitives flee as far as Zoar,
|
|
to Eglath-shelishiyah;
|
|
they go up the Ascent of Luhith weeping;
|
|
they raise a cry of destruction
|
|
on the road to Horonaim.
|
|
|
|
6. The Waters of Nimrim are desolate;
|
|
the grass is withered, the foliage is gone,
|
|
and the vegetation has vanished.
|
|
|
|
7. So they carry their wealth and belongings
|
|
over the Wadi of the Willows.
|
|
|
|
8. For their cry echoes
|
|
throughout the territory of Moab.
|
|
Their wailing reaches Eglaim;
|
|
their wailing reaches Beer-elim.
|
|
|
|
9. The Waters of Dibon are full of blood,
|
|
but I will bring on Dibon even more than this--
|
|
a lion for those who escape from Moab,
|
|
and for the survivors in the land.
