Yeshayahu 15
Yeshayahu (Book of Isaiah), Chapter 15
'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 The burden of Moab. For in the night that Ar of Moab is laid waste, he is brought to ruin; for in the night that Kir of Moab is laid waste, he is brought to ruin.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 He is gone up to Baith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; upon Nebo, and upon Medeba, Moab howleth; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is shaven.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; on their housetops, and in their broad places, every one howleth, weeping profusely.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz; therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul is faint within him.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 My heart crieth out for Moab; her fugitives reach unto Zoar, a heifer of three years old; for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 For the Waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the grass is withered away, the herbage faileth, there is no green thing.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000008-QINU`"'9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
