On the tops of their houses
And in their streets
Everyone will wail, aweeping bitterly.
Their voice shall be heard as far as aJahaz;
Therefore the1 armed soldiers of Moab will cry out;
His life will be burdensome to him.
His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
Like1 a three-year-old heifer.
For bby the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction,
For the green grass has withered away;
The grass fails, there is nothing green.
And what they have laid up,
They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
aLions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”
| << Isaiah 15:4 | Isaiah 15:6 >> |
