Isaiah 15

An Oracle Concerning Moab
1An #[See ch. 14:28 above] oracle concerning #See Jer. 48; Ezek. 25:8-11; Amos 2:1-3; Zeph. 2:8, 9 Moab.
Because #Num. 21:15, 28 Ar of Moab is laid waste in a night,
Moab is undone;
because #[ch. 16:7, 11]Kir of Moab is laid waste in a night,
Moab is undone.
2He has gone up to the temple,#15:2 Hebrew the house and to #Num. 21:30 Dibon,
to the high places#15:2 Or temple, even Dibon to the high places to weep;
over #Deut. 34:1 Nebo and over #Num. 21:30 Medeba
Moab #ch. 13:6 wails.
On every head is #See ch. 3:24baldness;
every beard is shorn;
3in the streets they wear sackcloth;
on the housetops and in the squares
everyone wails and melts in tears.
4 #
Num. 32:37 Heshbon and #Num. 32:37 Elealeh cry out;
their voice is heard as far as #Jer. 48:34Jahaz;
therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
his soul trembles.
5My heart cries out for Moab;
her fugitives flee to Zoar,
to #[See ver. 4 above] Eglath-shelishiyah.
For at the #Jer. 48:5ascent of Luhith
they go up weeping;
on the road to #Jer. 48:5Horonaim
they raise a cry of destruction;
6the waters of #[Num. 32:36]Nimrim
are a desolation;
the grass is withered, the vegetation fails,
the greenery is no more.
7 #
Jer. 48:36
Therefore the abundance they have gained
and what they have laid up
they carry away
over the Brook of the Willows.
8For a cry has gone
around the land of Moab;
her wailing reaches to Eglaim;
her wailing reaches to Beer-elim.
9For the waters of #[ver. 2] Dibon#15:9 Dead Sea Scroll, Vulgate (compare Syriac); Masoretic Text Dimon; twice in this verse are full of blood;
for I will bring upon Dibon even more,
# [2 Kgs. 17:25; Jer. 50:17] a lion for those of Moab who escape,
for the remnant of the land.

Isaiah 15
15
1The burden of Moab: For in the night of being laid waste, Ar of Moab is destroyed; for in the night of being laid waste, Kir of Moab is destroyed! 2He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off. 3In their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears. 4And Heshbon crieth, and Elealeh: their voice is heard unto Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out: his soul trembleth in him. 5My heart crieth out for Moab; their fugitives have fled unto Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah: for by the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up by it; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.
6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the herbage is withered away, the grass hath failed, there is no green thing. 7Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows. 8For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim. 9For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay yet more upon Dimon: a lion upon them that are escaped of Moab, and upon that which remaineth of the land.
