(Isaiah 15:1–9)
1
Concerning Moab, thus saith ye Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Woe vnto Nebo: for it is wasted: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and afraide.
2
Moab shall boast no more of Heshbon: for they haue deuised euill against it. Come, and let vs destroy it, that it be no more a nation: also thou shalt be destroyed, O Madmen, and the sworde shall pursue thee.
3
A voyce of crying shall be from Horonaim with desolation and great destruction.
4
Moab is destroyed: her litle ones haue caused their crie to be heard.
5
For at the going vp of Luhith, the mourner shall goe vp with weeping: for in the going downe of Horonaim, the enemies haue heard a cry of destruction,
6
Flee and saue your liues, and be like vnto the heath in the wildernesse.
7
For because thou hast trusted in thy workes and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken, and Chemosh shall goe forth into captiuitie with his Priestes and his princes together.
8
And the destroyer shall come vpon all cities, and no citie shall escape: the valley also shall perish and the plaine shalbe destroyed as the Lord hath spoken.
9
Giue wings vnto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shalbe desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10
Cursed be he that doeth the worke of the Lord negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth backe his sword from blood.
11
Moab hath bene at rest from his youth, and he hath setled on his lees, and hath not bene powred from vessell to vessell, neither hath he gone into captiuitie: therefore his taste remained in him and his sent is not changed.
12
Therefore beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will send vnto him such as shall carie him away, and shall emptie his vessels, and breake their bottels.
13
And Moab shalbe ashamed of Chemosh as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
14
Howe thinke you thus, We are mightie and strong men of warre?
15
Moab is destroyed, and his cities burnt vp, and his chose yong men are gone downe to slaughter, saith ye King, whose name is ye Lord of hostes.
16
The destruction of Moab is ready to come, and his plague hasteth fast.
17
All ye that are about him, mourne for him, and all ye that knowe his name, say, Howe is the strong staffe broken, and the beautifull rod!
18
Thou daughter that doest inhabite Dibon, come downe from thy glory, and sit in thirst: for the destroyer of Moab shall come vpon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holdes.
19
Thou that dwellest in Aroer, stand by the way, and beholde: aske him that fleeth and that escapeth, and say, What is done?
20
Moab is cofouded: for it is destroied: howle, and cry, tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is made waste,
21
And iudgement is come vpon the plaine countrey, vpon Holon and vpon Iahazah, and vpon Mephaath,
22
And vpon Dibon, and vpon Nebo, and vpon the house of Diblathaim,
23
And vpon Kiriathaim, and vpon Beth-gamul, and vpon Beth-meon,
24
And vpon Kerioth, and vpon Bozrah, and vpon all the cities of ye land of Moab farre or neere.
25
The horne of Moab is cut off, and his arme is broken, saith the Lord.
26
Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himselfe against the Lord: Moab shall wallowe in his vomite, and he also shalbe in derision.
27
For diddest not thou deride Israel, as though he had bene found among theeues? for when thou speakest of him, thou art moued.
28
O ye that dwell in Moab, leaue the cities, and dwell in the rockes, and be like the doue, that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth.
29
We haue heard the pride of Moab (hee is exceeding proude) his stoutnesse, and his arrogancie, and his pride, and the hautinesse of his heart.
30
I know his wrath, saith ye Lord, but it shall not be so: and his dissimulatios, for they do not right.
31
Therefore will I howle for Moab, and I will crie out for all Moab: mine heart shall mourne for the men of Kir-heres.
32
O vine of Sibmah, I will weepe for thee, as I wept for Iazer: thy plants are gone ouer the sea, they are come to the sea of Iazer: ye destroyer is fallen vpon thy somer fruites, and vpon thy vintage,
33
And ioye, and gladnesse is taken from the plentifull fielde, and from the land of Moab: and I haue caused wine to faile from the winepresse: none shall treade with shouting: their shouting shall be no shouting.
34
From the cry of Heshbon vnto Elaleh and vnto Iahaz haue they made their noyse from Zoar vnto Horonaim, ye heiffer of three yere old shall go lowing: for ye waters also of Nimrim shalbe wasted.
35
Moreouer, I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offered in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36
Therefore mine heart shall sounde for Moab like a shaume, and mine heart shall sound like a shaume for the men of Ker-heres, because the riches that he hath gotten, is perished.
37
For euery head shalbe balde, and euery beard plucked: vpon all the handes shall be cuttings, and vpon the loynes sackecloth.
38
And mourning shall be vpon all the house toppes of Moab and in all the streetes thereof: for I haue broken Moab like a vessell wherein is no pleasure, sayeth the Lord.
39
They shall howle, saying, How is he destroyed? howe hath Moab turned the backe with shame? so shall Moab be a derision, and a feare to all them about him.
40
For thus saith the Lord, Beholde, he shall flee as an eagle, and shall spread his wings ouer Moab.
41
The cities are taken, and the strong holdes are wonne, and ye mightie mens hearts in Moab at that day shalbe as ye heart of a woman in trauaile.
42
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath set vp himselfe against the Lord.
43
Feare, and pit and snare shall be vpon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
44
He that escapeth from the feare, shall fall in the pit, and he that getteth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring vpon it, euen vpon Moab, the yeere of their visitation, sayeth the Lord.
45
They that fled, stoode vnder the shadowe of Heshbon, because of the force: for the fire came out of Heshbon, and a flame from Sihon, and deuoured the corner of Moab, and the top of the seditious children.
46
Wo be vnto thee, O Moab: the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sonnes are taken captiues, and thy daughters led into captiuitie.
47
Yet will I bring againe the captiuitie of Moab in the latter dayes, sayeth the Lord. Thus farre of the iudgement of Moab.
(Isaiah 15:1–9)
1
Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab (a) is put to shame and broken down.
2
The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
3
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
4
Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5
For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6
Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
7
For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8
The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.
9
Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
10
“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11
Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
12
Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD,that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.
13
Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14
“How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war’?
15
Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
16
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17
All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say,How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’
18
You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.
19
Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’
20
Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21
Judgment has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,
22
on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,
23
on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,
24
on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.
26
Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
27
For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28
You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29
We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
30
I know his wrath,” says the LORD, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
31
Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32
With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.
33
Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
34
From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
35
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the LORD,him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
36
Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
37
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
38
On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.
39
“How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
40
For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
41
Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42
Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
43
Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.
44
He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
45
Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46
Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47
Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
