\v 1 Isaiah received this message from Yahweh about the Moab people group:
|
|
\q1 In one night two important cities in Moab, Ar and Kir, will be destroyed.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 The people of Dibon, the capital city, will go to their temple to mourn;
|
|
\q2 they will go to their high places set on the hilltops, and there they will weep.
|
|
\q1 They will wail because of what happened to Nebo and Medeba in the south;
|
|
\q2 they will all shave the hair of their heads, and the men will cut off their beards to show that they are grieving.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 In the streets people will wear rough sackcloth,
|
|
\q2 and on their flat rooftops and in the city plazas all people will wail
|
|
\q1 with tears streaming down their faces.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 The people of the city of Heshbon and the towns of Elealeh in the north of Moab will cry out;
|
|
\q2 people as far away as the town of Jahaz in the south will hear them wailing.
|
|
\q1 Therefore the soldiers of Moab will tremble and cry out,
|
|
\q2 and they will be very afraid.

\q1
|
|
\v 5 Yahweh feels very sorry for the people of Moab;
|
|
\q2 they will flee to the towns of Zoar and Eglath Shelishiyah in the far south.
|
|
\q2 They will cry as they walk up to the town of Luhith.
|
|
\q1 All along the road to the town of Horonaim people will mourn
|
|
\q2 because their country has been destroyed.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 The water in the Valley of Nimrim will dry up.
|
|
\q2 The grass there will be withered;
|
|
\q1 the green plants will all be gone,
|
|
\q2 and there will be nothing left that is green.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 The people will pick up their possessions
|
|
\q2 and carry them across the brook of the Willows.
|

\q1
|
|
\v 8 Throughout the country of Moab, people will be crying;
|
|
\q2 people as far away as Eglaim in the south and Beer Elim in the north will hear them wailing.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 The stream near Dibon will become red from the blood of people who have been killed,
|
|
\q2 but I will cause the people of Moab to experience even more trouble:
|
|
\q1 lions will attack those who are trying to escape from Moab
|
|
\q2 and will also attack the people who remain in that country.
