23:015:001 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;
23:015:002 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.
23:015:003 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.
23:015:004 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.
23:015:005 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.
23:015:006 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is
withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.
23:015:007 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they
have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the
willows.
23:015:008 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the
howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto
Beerelim.
23:015:009 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.
23:016:001 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the
wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
23:016:002 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the
nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
23:016:003 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night
in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him
that wandereth.
23:016:004 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to
them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at
an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out
of the land.
23:016:005 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit
upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and
seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.
23:016:006 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of
his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies
shall not be so.
23:016:007 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for
the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are
stricken.
