Isaiah 15
15
1 #
Is 25.10-12; Jer 48; Ezek 25.8-11; Amos 2.1-3; Zeph 2.8-11. An oracle concerning Moab.
Because Ar is laid waste in a night
Moab is undone;
because Kir is laid waste in a night
Moab is undone.
2The daughter of Dibon#15.2 Cn: Heb the house and Dibon has gone up
to the high places to weep;
over Nebo and over Medeba
Moab wails.
On every head is baldness,
every beard is shorn;
3in the streets they gird on sackcloth;
on the housetops and in the squares
every one wails and melts in tears.
4Heshbon and Ele-aleh cry out,
their voice is heard as far as Jahaz;
therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
his soul trembles.
5My heart cries out for Moab;
his fugitives flee to Zoar,
to Eglath-shelishiyah.
For at the ascent of Luhith
they go up weeping;
on the road to Horonaim
they raise a cry of destruction;
6the waters of Nimrim
are a desolation;
the grass is withered, the new growth fails,
the verdure is no more.
7Therefore the abundance they have gained
and what they have laid up
they carry away
over the Brook of the Willows.
8For a cry has gone
round the land of Moab;
the wailing reaches to Eglaim,
the wailing reaches to Beer-elim.
9For the waters of Dibon#15.9 One ancient Ms Vg Compare Syr: Heb Dimon are full of blood;
yet I will bring upon Dibon#15.9 One ancient Ms Vg Compare Syr: Heb Dimon even more,
a lion for those of Moab who escape,
for the remnant of the land.

Isaiah 15
15
A Pronouncement against Moab
1A pronouncement concerning Moab:#Gn 19:31–37; Is 11:14; 25:10; Jr 48:1–38; Ezk 25:8–11; Am 2:1–3; Zph 2:8–9
Ar in Moab is devastated,#Nm 21:28
destroyed in a night.
Kir in Moab is devastated,
destroyed in a night.
2Dibon went up to its temple
to weep at its high places.
Moab wails on Nebo and at#15:2 Or wails over Nebo and over Medeba.
Every head is shaved;
every beard is chopped short.
3In its streets they wear sackcloth;
on its rooftops and in its public squares everyone wails,
falling down and weeping.
4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;
their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz.#Nm 21:28; 32:3; Jr 48:34
Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out,
and they tremble.
5My heart cries out over Moab,
whose fugitives flee as far as Zoar,#Gn 19:21–22
to Eglath-shelishiyah;
they go up the Ascent of Luhith weeping;
they raise a cry of destruction
on the road to Horonaim.
6The Waters of Nimrim#Nm 32:3,36; Jos 13:27 are desolate;
the grass is withered, the foliage is gone,
and the vegetation has vanished.
7So they carry their wealth and belongings
over the Wadi of the Willows.#Is 30:6; Jr 48:36
8For their cry echoes
throughout the territory of Moab.
Their wailing reaches Eglaim;
their wailing reaches Beer-elim.
9The Waters of Dibon#15:9 DSS, some LXX mss, Vg; MT reads Dimon, twice in this v. are full of blood,#2Kg 3:22–23
but I will bring on Dibon even more than this —
a lion for those who escape from Moab,
and for the survivors in the land.#2Sm 23:20; 1Ch 11:22
