The .xv. Chapter.
A prophecie agaynst Moab.
[unspec A] 1 THis is the burthen vp∣on Moab: Ar of Moab was destroyed & ouer∣throwen in the nyght season, Kir also in Mo∣ab was destroyed and perished in the nyght.
2 Moab went vp to the idols house, euen to Dibon to the hygh places to weepe: for Neba and Moab shall mourne for Medba, All their heades were balde, and all their beardes shauen.
3 In her streetes are they girded about with sackcloth: In all the toppes of her houses and streetes shalbe nothyng but mournyng and weepyng.
4 Hesbon and Eleale shall crye, that their voyce shalbe hearde vnto Iahaz: and therfore the armed souldiours also of Moab shall bleate out and crye for very sorowe of their myndes.
5 Wo shall my heart be for Moabs sake, they shall flee vnto the citie of Zoar, which is lyke a faire young bullocke of three yere olde, for they shall all go vp to Luith weepyng: euen so by the way towarde Horonaim they shall make lamentation for their vtter destruction.
6 For the waters of Nimrim shalbe dryed vp, by reason wherof the grasse [unspec B] is withered, the hearbes destroyed, and the greene thynges gone.
7 Therfore the goodes that remayneth in Moab, and the riches therof, they shall cary to the brooke of wyllowes.
8 For the crye went ouer the whole lande of Moab, vnto Eglaim and vnto Beer Elim was there nothyng but mournyng.
9 Because the waters of Dimon were full of blood, I wyll adde more vpon Dimon: and lions vpon the remnaunt of the lande, and on them that are escaped from Moab.
