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 burden°
of Moab.°
Because°
in the night°
Ar°
of Moab°
is laid waste,°°
[and] brought to silence;°°
because°
in the night°
Kir°
of Moab°
is laid waste,°°
[and] brought to silence;°° |
|
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 up°°
to Bajith,°
and to Dibon,°
the high places,°
to weep:°
Moab°
shall howl°°
over°
Nebo,°
and over°
Medeba:°
on all°
their heads°
[shall be] baldness,°
[and] every°
beard°
cut off.°°° |
|
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 streets°
they shall gird°°
themselves with sackcloth:°
on°
the tops°
of their houses,°
and in their streets,°
every one°
shall howl,°°
weeping°
abundantly.°° |
|
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 Heshbon°
shall cry,°°
and Elealeh:°
their voice°
shall be heard°°
[even] unto°
Jahaz:°
therefore°°
the armed soldiers°°
of Moab°
shall cry out;°°
his life°
shall be grievous°°
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 heart°
shall cry°
out°°
for Moab;°
his fugitives°
[shall flee] unto°
Zoar,°
an heifer°
of three years old:°
for°
by the mounting up°
of Luhith°
with weeping°
shall they go it up;°°
for°
in the way°
of Horonaim°
they shall raise up°°
a cry°
of destruction.° |
|
15:6
The water of Nemerim shall be desolate, and the grass thereof shall fail: for there shall be no green grass. |
|
15:6
For°
the waters°
of Nimrim°
shall be°
desolate:°
for°
the hay°
is withered away,°°
the grass°
faileth,°°
there is°
no°
green thing.° |
|
15:7
Shall [Moab] even thus be delivered? for I [will] bring the Arabians upon the valley, and they shall take it. |
|
15:7
Therefore°°
the abundance°
they have gotten,°°
and that which they have laid up,°
shall they carry away°°
to°
the brook°
of the willows.° |
|
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
For°
the cry°
is gone round°
about°°°
the borders°
of Moab;°
the howling°°
thereof unto°
Eglaim,°
and the howling°°
thereof unto Beerelim.° |
|
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
For°
the waters°
of Dimon°
shall be full°°
of blood:°
for°
I will bring°°
more°°
upon°
Dimon,°
lions°
upon him that escapeth°
of Moab,°
and upon the remnant°
of the land.° |
