Isaiah · Prophet Isaiah

¹ The word against the land of Moab.

Isa 15:1

² Grieve for yourselves; for even Dibon, where your altar is, shall be destroyed: thither shall ye go up to weep, over Nebo of the land of Moab: howl ye: baldness shall be on every head, [and] all arms [shall be] 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 Heshbon and Elealeh have cried: their voice was heard to Jahaz: 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 Zoar; for it is [as] a heifer of three years old: and on the ascent of Eglath they shall go up to thee weeping by the way of Horonaim: she cries, Destruction, and trembling. ⁶ The water of Nimrim 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 Eglaim; and her howling [has gone] as far as the well of Elim. 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.
