Yeshayah 15
15
1The massa (burden) of Moav. Because in the lailah (night) Ar of Moav is destroyed, and brought to silence; because in the lailah Kir of Moav is destroyed, and brought to silence;
2He is gone up to the [idol] temple, and to Divon, the#15:2 idolatrous high places, to weep: Moav shall howl over Nevo, and over Medeva; on all their rosh shall be shaved heads, and every zakan (beard) cut off.
3In their chutzot (streets) they shall gird themselves with sackcloth; on their rooftops, and in their rechovot (open areas), every one shall wail, falling down with weeping.
4And Cheshbon shall cry, and Elealeh; their voice shall be heard even unto Yahatz; therefore the loins of Moav shall shake; his nefesh shall be faint within him.
5My lev shall cry out for Moav; his fugitives shall flee unto Tzoar, and Eglat-Shelishiyah; for by the Ascent of Luchit with bekhi (weeping) shall they go up; for on the Derech Choronayim they shall raise up a lament because of destruction.
6For the waters of Nimrim shall be dried up; for the khatzir (grass) is withered away, the desheh (vegetation) faileth, yerek (green) there is none,
7Therefore the possessions they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the Nakhal HaAravim (Ravine of Willows).
8For the cry is gone all around the borders of Moav; the outcry thereof unto Eglayim, and the wailing thereof unto Be'er Elim.
9For the waters of Dimon shall be full of dahm; for I will bring more upon Dimon, aryeh (lion) upon him that escapeth of Moav, and upon she'erit adamah (the remnant of the land).

The Burden against Moab
(Jeremiah 48:1–47)
1This is the burden against Moab:
Ar in Moab is ruined,
destroyed in a night!
Kir in Moab is devastated,
destroyed in a night!
2Dibon goes up to its temple
to weep at its high places.
Moab wails over Nebo,
as well as over Medeba.
Every head is shaved,
every beard is cut off.
3In its streets they wear sackcloth;
on the rooftops and in the public squares
they all wail, falling down weeping.
4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;
their voices are heard as far as Jahaz.
Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out;
their souls tremble within.
5My heart cries out over Moab;
her fugitives flee as far as Zoar,
as far as Eglath-shelishiyah.#15:5 Or Zoar, like a heifer three years of age.
With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith;
they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
6The waters of Nimrim are dried up,
and the grass is withered;
the vegetation is gone,
and the greenery is no more.
7So they carry their wealth and belongings
over the Brook of the Willows.#15:7 Or Poplars
8For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab.
Their wailing reaches Eglaim;
it is heard in Beer-elim.
9The waters of Dimon #15:9 MT, twice in this verse; DSS and Vulgate Dibon; Dimon, a wordplay on Dibon (see verse 2), sounds like the Hebrew for blood. are full of blood,
but I will bring more upon Dimon—
a lion upon the fugitives of Moab
and upon the remnant of the land.
