CHAPTER 15
Proclamation Against Moab
Prophecy Against Moab
​
1 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[fn] 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 tops of their houses
​​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 soldiers[fn] of Moab will cry out;
​​His life will be burdensome to him.
​
5 ​​“My heart will cry out for Moab;
​​His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
​​Like a three-year-old heifer.[fn]
​​For by the Ascent of Luhith
​​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 Beer Elim.
9 ​​For the waters of Dimon[fn] will be full of blood;
​​Because I will bring more upon Dimon,[fn]
​​Lions upon him who escapes from Moab,
​​And on the remnant of the land.”
