Thus saith Elohim Adonai, “I will fulfil shortly this word I spoke to be recorded in the fifteenth Book of Isaiah.

Isaiah 15

Complete Jewish Bible

15 This is a prophecy about Mo’av [Moab]:

The night ‘Ar is sacked, Mo’av is ruined.
The night Kir is sacked, Mo’av is ruined.

² He went up to the temple, to Dibon and to the high places, to weep.
On N’vo [Nebo] and Meidva [Medeba] Mo’av is howling, every head shaved bald, every beard cut off.

³ In the streets they wear sackcloth;
on their roofs and in their squares,
everyone howls and weeps profusely.

⁴ Heshbon and El‘aleh [Elealeh]cry out,
they are heard as far as Yachatz. [Jahaz]
Mo’av’s best troops cry aloud, as their courage faints away.

⁵ My heart cries out for Mo’av!
Its fugitives flee to Tzo‘ar, [Zoar]
a calf three years old.
[Like a three year old heifer] [they flee to make a sacrifice on the high place to their false God] See Isaiah 16:12-13.

They ascend the slope of Luchit, [Luhith]
weeping as they go;
on their way to Horonayim, [Horonaim]
they utter heartrending cries.

⁶ The waters of Nimrim are desolate, the grass is dried up, the new growth fails, nothing green is left.

⁷ Therefore they carry away their wealth,
everything they have put aside, across the Vadi of the Willows.

⁸ For the cry has circulated
throughout Mo’av’s territory —
its howling has reached Eglayim, [Eglaim]
its howling has reached Be’er-Elim.

⁹ For the waters of Dimon are full of blood,
yet I have worse in store for Dimon —
a lion for those who escape from Mo’av
and for those who remain in its land.

See also Amos 9:11, 12 and Acts 15:16,17 for the corroboration of this conjunction when at a certain point in time this prophecy of The Messianic Rulership shall come into being when one who is of the lineage of King David shall return to sit upon the throne to rule and reign over all the nations of the earth.

And again a similar prophecy to be re-enacted in the Book of Jeremiah regarding the destruction of Moab.

“Moreover,” says Adonai, “in Mo’av I will put an end to anyone sacrificing on a high place or offering incense to his gods.”

³⁶ This is why my heart is moaning for Mo’av like funeral flutes, why my heart moans for the men of Kir-Heres like funeral flutes; for the wealth they produced has vanished.

³⁷ Every head has been shaved bald,
every beard has been clipped short, gashes are on every hand, sackcloth around every waist.

³⁸ On all the housetops of Mo’av and in its open places —lamentation everywhere!

“For I have broken Mo’av like a pot
that nobody wants,” says Adonai.

³⁹ Wail, “How shattered is Mo’av! How shamefully in retreat!”

Thus will Mo’av become an object of ridicule and distress to all its neighbors.

⁴⁰ For here is what Adonai says:
“Look! Down he swoops like a vulture, spreading his wings against Mo’av —

⁴¹ the cities are captured, the strongholds are seized.
On that day the hearts of Mo’av’s warriors
will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

⁴² Mo’av will be destroyed as a people,
because he boasted against Adonai.

⁴³ Terror, pit and trap are upon you,
people of Mo’av,” says Adonai.

⁴⁴ “Whoever flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who climbs up out of the pit will be caught in the trap. For I will bring on her, on Mo’av, the year for her punishment, says Adonai.

⁴⁵ “In the shadow of Heshbon the fugitives stop, exhausted.
For fire breaks out from Heshbon, a flame from inside Sichon,

consuming the sides and tops of the heads of Mo’an’s noisy boasters.

⁴⁶ Woe to you, Mo’av!
K’mosh’s people are doomed! For your sons have been taken captive,
and your daughters led into captivity.

⁴⁷ Yet I will end Mo’av’s exile in the acharit-hayamim,” says Adonai.

This is the judgment on Mo’av.
