Isaiah 15
15
Proclamation Against Moab
1The #2 Kin. 3:4burden against Moab.
Because in the night #Deut. 2:9; Num. 21:28Ar of #Is. 15:1—16:14; Jer. 25:21; 48:1–47; Amos 2:1–3; Zeph. 2:8–11Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,
Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,
2He has gone up to the temple and Dibon,
To the high places to weep.
Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba;
#Lev. 21:5; Jer. 48:37On all their heads will be baldness,
And every beard cut off.
3In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth;
On the tops of their houses
And in their streets
Everyone will wail, #Jer. 48:38weeping bitterly.
4Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out,
Their voice shall be heard as far as #Num. 21:28; 32:3; Jer. 48:34Jahaz;
Therefore the armed soldiers of Moab will cry out;
His life will be burdensome to him.
5“My#Is. 16:11; Jer. 48:31 heart will cry out for Moab;
His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
Like a three-year-old heifer.
For #Jer. 48:5by the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction,
6For the waters #Num. 32:36of Nimrim will be desolate,
For the green grass has withered away;
The grass fails, there is nothing green.
7Therefore the abundance they have gained,
And what they have laid up,
They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.
8For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.
9For the waters of Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
#2 Kin. 17:25; Jer. 50:17Lions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”

Isaiah 15

A Message about Moab
1This message came to me concerning Moab:
In one night the town of Ar will be leveled,
and the city of Kir will be destroyed.
2Your people will go to their temple in Dibon to mourn.
They will go to their sacred shrines to weep.
They will wail for the fate of Nebo and Medeba,
shaving their heads in sorrow and cutting off their beards.
3They will wear burlap as they wander the streets.
From every home and public square will come the sound of wailing.
4The people of Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out;
their voices will be heard as far away as Jahaz!
The bravest warriors of Moab will cry out in utter terror.
They will be helpless with fear.
5My heart weeps for Moab.
Its people flee to Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah.
Weeping, they climb the road to Luhith.
Their cries of distress can be heard all along the road to Horonaim.
6Even the waters of Nimrim are dried up!
The grassy banks are scorched.
The tender plants are gone;
nothing green remains.
7The people grab their possessions
and carry them across the Ravine of Willows.
8A cry of distress echoes through the land of Moab
from one end to the other—
from Eglaim to Beer-elim.
9The stream near Dibon#15:9 As in Dead Sea Scrolls, some Greek manuscripts, and Latin Vulgate; Masoretic Text reads Dimon; also in 15:9b. runs red with blood,
but I am still not finished with Dibon!
Lions will hunt down the survivors—
both those who try to escape
and those who remain behind.
