THE burden against Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste and destroyed, because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste and destroyed,

2 He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, to the high places to weep. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; on all their heads will be baldness, and every beard cut off.

3 In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth; on the top of their house and in their streets everyone will wail, weeping bitterly.

4 Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out, their voice shall be heard as far as Jahaz; therefore the armed solidiers of Moab will cry out; his life will be burdensome to him.

5 "My heart will cry out for Moab; his fugatives shall flee to Zoar, like a three - year - old heifer. For by the Ascent of Luhiith they will go up with weeping; for in the way of Horonaim they will raise up a cry of destruction,

6 For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate, for the green grass has withered away; the grass fails, there is nothing green.

7 Therefore the abundance they have gained, and what they have laid up, they will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.

8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab, its wailing to Eglaim and its wailing to Eglaim and its wailing to Beer Elim.

9 For the water of Dimon will be full of blood; because I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him who escapes from Moab, and on the remnant of the land." ISAIAH 15
