15Isaiah 15

CHAP. XV. / The lamentable state of Moab.

1The burden of Moab: because in the night Ar of Moab is laide waste and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laide waste, and brought to silence:Select Isaiah 15:1

2Hee is gone vp to Baijth, and to Dibon, the high places, to weepe: Moab shall howle ouer Nebo, and ouer Medeba, on all their heads shalbe baldnesse, and euery beard cut off.Select Isaiah 15:2

3In their streetes they shall girde themselues with sackecloth: on the toppes of their houses, and in their streetes euery one shall howle, weeping abundantly.Select Isaiah 15:3

4And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shalbe heard euen vnto Iahaz: therefore the armed souldiers of Moab shall crie out, his life shall be grieuous vnto him.Select Isaiah 15:4

5My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitiues shall flee vnto Zoar, an heifer of three yeeres olde: for by the mounting vp of Luhith with weeping shall they goe it vp: for in the way of Horonaim, they shall raise vp a crie of destruction.Select Isaiah 15:5

6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grasse faileth, there is no greene thing.Select Isaiah 15:6

7Therefore the abundance they haue gotten, and that which they haue laide vp, shall they cary away to the brooke of the willowes.Select Isaiah 15:7

8For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab: the howling thereof vnto Eglaim, and the howling thereof vnto Beer-Elim.Select Isaiah 15:8

9For the waters of Dimon shalbe full of blood: for I will bring more vpon Dimon, lyons vpon him that escapeth of Moab, and vpon the remnant of the land.Select Isaiah 15:9
