Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 15
15
1This is a prophecy about Mo’av:
The night ‘Ar is sacked, Mo’av is ruined.
The night Kir is sacked, Mo’av is ruined.
2He went up to the temple,
to Dibon and to the high places, to weep.
On N’vo and Meidva Mo’av is howling,
every head shaved bald, every beard cut off.
3In the streets they wear sackcloth;
on their roofs and in their squares,
everyone howls and weeps profusely.
4Heshbon and El‘aleh cry out,
they are heard as far as Yachatz.
Mo’av’s best troops cry aloud,
as their courage faints away.
5My heart cries out for Mo’av!
Its fugitives flee to Tzo‘ar,
a calf three years old.
They ascend the slope of Luchit,
weeping as they go;
on their way to Horonayim,
they utter heartrending cries.
6The waters of Nimrim are desolate,
the grass is dried up, the new growth fails,
nothing green is left.
7Therefore they carry away their wealth,
everything they have put aside,
across the Vadi of the Willows.
8For the cry has circulated
throughout Mo’av’s territory —
its howling has reached Eglayim,
its howling has reached Be’er-Elim.
9For the waters of Dimon are full of blood,
yet I have worse in store for Dimon —
a lion for those who escape from Mo’av
and for those who remain in its land.

Oracle of Judgment on Moab
1An oracle of Moab:
Because Ar is devastated in a night, Moab is destroyed;
because Kir of Moab is devastated in a night, it is destroyed.
2It has gone up to the house,#Or “temple”
and Dibon to the high places
for weeping over Nebo,
and Moab wails over Medeba.
Every head is bald,#Literally “On all its heads baldness”
every beard is shaved.
3They gird themselves with sackcloth in its streets;
on its roofs and public squares everyone wails,
going down in weeping.
4And Heshbon and Elealeh cry#The Hebrew is singular out,
their voice is heard as far as Jahaz;
therefore the armed ones of Moab cry out;
its soul quivers#The Hebrew words for “cry out” and “quiver” are similar for him.
5My heart cries out for Moab;
its fugitives flee up to Zoar,
to Eglath-shelishiyah.
For at the ascent of Luhith it goes up it with weeping;
for on the road of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.
6For the waters of Nimrim are wastelands;
for the grass has withered,
the vegetation has vanished,
there is no greenness.
7Therefore they carry the abundance it has made
and their store of goods over the river of the poplars.
8For a cry for help has encircled the territory of Moab,
her wailing is heard as far as Eglaim,
and her wailing as far as Beer Elim.
9For the waters of Dimon#One of the Dead Sea Scrolls reads “Dibon” here are full of blood;
but I will place added things upon Dimon:
a lion for the survivors#Hebrew “survivor” of Moab
and for the remnant of the land.
