Isaiah 15
An Oracle Concerning Moab
1The ▼▼Or burden of
oracle 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 ▼
▼Lit house
temple 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, ▼
▼Lit going down in weeping
dissolved in weeping.4Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore ▼
▼Or the loins of
the 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 ▼
▼Lit desolations
desolate.Surely the grass is dried up, the tender grass has ▼
▼Lit come to an end
completely ceased,There is no green thing.
7Therefore the abundance they have made and stored up
They carry off over the brook of ▼
▼Or the poplars
Arabim.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 ▼
▼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.
