The lamentable state of Moab.
|
  15:1 ¶
THE WORD AGAINST THE LAND OF MOAB. By night the land of Moab shall be destroyed; for by night the wall of the land of Moab shall be destroyed. |
|
15:1 ¶
The burdenº
of Moab.º
Becauseº
in the nightº
Arº
of Moabº
is laid waste,ºº
[and] brought to silence;ºº
becauseº
in the nightº
Kirº
of Moabº
is laid waste,ºº
[and] brought to silence;ºº |
|
15:2
Grieve for yourselves; for even Debon, where your altar is, shall be destroyed: thither shall ye go up to weep, over Nebo{gr.Nabau} of the land of Moab: howl ye: baldness shall be on every head, [and] all arms [shall be] wounded. |
|
15:2
He is gone upºº
to Bajith,º
and to Dibon,º
the high places,º
to weep:º
Moabº
shall howlºº
overº
Nebo,º
and overº
Medeba:º
on allº
their headsº
[shall be] baldness,º
[and] everyº
beardº
cut off.ººº |
|
15:3
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. |
|
15:3
In their streetsº
they shall girdºº
themselves with sackcloth:º
onº
the topsº
of their houses,º
and in their streets,º
every oneº
shall howl,ºº
weepingº
abundantly.ºº |
|
15:4
For Heshbon{gr.Esebon} and Eleale have cried: their voice was heard to Jassa: therefore the loins of the region of Moab cry aloud; her soul shall know. |
|
15:4
And Heshbonº
shall cry,ºº
and Elealeh:º
their voiceº
shall be heardºº
[even] untoº
Jahaz:º
thereforeºº
the armed soldiersºº
of Moabº
shall cry out;ºº
his lifeº
shall be grievousºº
unto him. |
|
15:5
The heart of the region of Moab cries within her to Zoar{gr.Segor}; for it is [as] a heifer of three years old: and on the ascent of Luith they shall go up to thee weeping by the way of Aroniim: she cries, Destruction, and trembling. |
|
15:5
My heartº
shall cryº
outºº
for Moab;º
his fugitivesº
[shall flee] untoº
Zoar,º
an heiferº
of three years old:º
forº
by the mounting upº
of Luhithº
with weepingº
shall they go it up;ºº
forº
in the wayº
of Horonaimº
they shall raise upºº
a cryº
of destruction.º |
|
15:6
The water of Nemerim shall be desolate, and the grass thereof shall fail: for there shall be no green grass. |
|
15:6
Forº
the watersº
of Nimrimº
shall beº
desolate:º
forº
the hayº
is withered away,ºº
the grassº
faileth,ºº
there isº
noº
green thing.º |
|
15:7
Shall [Moab] even thus be delivered? for I [will] bring the Arabians upon the valley, and they shall take it. |
|
15:7
Thereforeºº
the abundanceº
they have gotten,ºº
and that which they have laid up,º
shall they carry awayºº
toº
the brookº
of the willows.º |
|
15:8
For the cry has reached the border of the region of Moab, [even] of Agalim; and her howling [has gone] as far as the well of Elim{gr.Aelim}. |
|
15:8
Forº
the cryº
is gone roundº
aboutººº
the bordersº
of Moab;º
the howlingºº
thereof untoº
Eglaim,º
and the howlingºº
thereof unto Beerelim.º |
|
15:9
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. |
|
15:9
Forº
the watersº
of Dimonº
shall be fullºº
of blood:º
forº
I will bringºº
moreºº
uponº
Dimon,º
lionsº
upon him that escapethº
of Moab,º
and upon the remnantº
of the land.º |
