Isaiah 15:6 Context
4And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shalbe heard euen vnto Iahaz: therefore the armed souldiers of Moab shall crie out, his life shall be grieuous vnto him. 5My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitiues shall flee vnto Zoar, an heifer of three yeeres olde: for by the mounting vp of Luhith with weeping shall they goe it vp: for in the way of Horonaim, they shall raise vp a crie of destruction. 6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grasse faileth, there is no greene thing. 7Therefore the abundance they haue gotten, and that which they haue laide vp, shall they cary away to the brooke of the willowes. 8For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab: the howling thereof vnto Eglaim, and the howling thereof vnto Beer-Elim.
