Isaiah 15
15
Moab Will Be Punished
1This is the divine revelation about Moab.
In a single night Ar in Moab is laid waste and destroyed!
In a single night Kir in Moab is laid waste and destroyed!
2The people of Dibon go to the temple,
to the worship sites, to cry.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba.
Every head is shaved bald, and every beard is cut off.#15:2 The shaving of the head and the beard are signs of a people going into exile.
3In their streets they wear sackcloth.
On their roofs and in their city squares everyone wails and cries.
4Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out.
Their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz.
Moab’s armed men cry out.
Their courage is gone.
5My heart cries out for Moab.
Its people flee as far as Zoar at Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the mountain road to Luhith.
They cry loudly over the destruction on the way to Horonaim.
6The Nimrim Brook has run dry!
The grass dries up,
the vegetation withers,
and nothing green is left.
7That is why they carry the wealth that they have earned and stored up
over Willow Ravine.
8Cries for help echo throughout the land of Moab.
Their wailing echoes as far as Eglaim.
Their wailing echoes as far as Beer Elim.
9The water in Dimon is red with blood,
yet I will bring even more on Dimon.
A lion will attack the fugitives from Moab
and the survivors from Adamah.#15:9 Or “the survivors in the countryside.”

Isaiah 15
15
1The burden of Moab. For in the night that Ar is devastated, Moab is ruined; for in the night that Kir is devastated, Moab is ruined.
2He has gone up to the shrine, to Dibon, to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba. Every head is bald, every beard shaven.
3In their streets they wear sackcloth. On their housetops and in their plazas, everyone wails, weeping profusely.
4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out. Their voice is heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry aloud, his soul faints within him.
5My heart cries out for Moab. Her fugitives are as far as Zoar as a three year old heifer, for by the ascent of Luhith they go up with weeping, for on the way of Horonaim they raise a cry of distress.
6The waters of Nimrim are desolate. The grass is withered away, the new grass withers, there is nothing green.
7Therefore the riches they had gotten and whatever they have stored, they carry over the Wadi of Willows.
8For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab, the wailing to Eglaim, and the wailing to Beer-elim.
9For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, but I will bring on Dimon even more— a lion for those escaping from Moab, and for those remaining in the land.
