Widespread Mourning and Flight of Refugees
Isaiah 15:5
Showing verse 5 with surrounding context.
2
He hath gone up to Bajith and Dibon, The high places--to weep, On Nebo and on Medeba Moab howleth, On all its heads is baldness, every beard cut off.
3
In its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its pinnacles, and in its broad places, Every one howleth--going down with weeping.
4
And cry doth Heshbon and Elealeh, Unto Jahaz heard hath been their voice, Therefore the armed ones of Moab do shout, His life hath been grievous to him.
5
My heart is toward Moab, Cry do her fugitives unto Zoar, a heifer of the third year , For--the ascent of Luhith--With weeping he goeth up in it, For, in the way of Horonaim, A cry of destruction they wake up.
6
For, the waters of Nimrim are desolations, For, withered hath been the hay, Finished hath been the tender grass, A green thing there hath not been.
7
Therefore the abundance he made, and their store, Unto the brook of the willows they carry.
8
For gone round hath the cry the border of Moab, Unto Eglaim is its howling, And to Beer-Elim is its howling.
