Isaiah 15
15
An Oracle Concerning Moab
1The #15:1 Or burden oforacle concerning Moab.
Surely in a night Ar of Moab is destroyed and ruined;
Surely in a night Kir of Moab is destroyed and ruined.
2They have gone up to the #15:2 Lit housetemple and to Dibon, even to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone’s head is bald and every beard is cut off.
3In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth;
On their rooftops and in their squares
Everyone is wailing, #15:3 Lit going down in weepingdissolved in weeping.
4Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore #15:4 Or the loins ofthe armed men of Moab make a loud shout;
His soul trembles within him.
5My heart cries out for Moab;
Those who flee from her are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping;
Surely on the road to Horonaim they keep awake with crying in distress over their destruction.
6For the waters of Nimrim are #15:6 Lit desolationsdesolate.
Surely the grass is dried up, the tender grass has #15:6 Lit come to an endcompletely ceased,
There is no green thing.
7Therefore the abundance they have made and stored up
They carry off over the brook of #15:7 Or the poplarsArabim.
8For the cry has gone around the territory of Moab,
Its wailing goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.
9For the waters of Dimon are full of #15:9 Heb dam (a wordplay)blood;
Surely I will put added woes upon Dimon,
A lion upon those of Moab who have escaped and upon the remnant of the land.
