Isaiah 15
15
CHAPTER 15
1The burden of Moab. For Ar was destroyed in night, Moab was still; for the wall was destroyed in the night, Moab was still.
2The king’s house, and Dibon ascended [or went up] to high places, into wailing; on Nebo, and on Medeba, Moab shall yell. In all heads thereof shall be baldness, and each beard shall be shaved.
3In the meeting of three ways thereof they be girded in a sackcloth, all yelling on the houses thereof, and in the streets thereof; it shall go down into weeping.
4Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh, the voice of them is heard till to Jahaz; on this thing the ready men of Moab shall yell, the soul thereof shall yell to itself.
5Mine heart shall cry to Moab, the bars thereof till to Zoar, a cow calf of three years. For why a weeper shall go up by the going up of Luhith, and in the way of Horonaim they shall raise cry of sorrow [or contrition].
6For why the waters of Nimrim shall be forsaken; for the herb dried up, burgeoning failed, all greenness perished.
7By the greatness of work, and the visiting of them, to the strand [or stream] of sallows they shall lead them.
8For why their cry compassed the end of Moab; till to Eglaim the yelling thereof, and the cry thereof till to the well of Elim.
9For the waters of Dimon be filled with blood; for I shall set increasings on Dimon, to those men of Moab that fled from the lion, and to the remnants of the land.

Moab Will Be Punished
1 #
Is 25.10-12; Jr 48.1-47; Ez 25.8-11; Am 2.1-3; Zep 2.8-11. This is a message about Moab:
The towns of Ar and Kir
were destroyed in a night.
Moab is left in ruins!
2Everyone in Dibon has gone up
to the temple#15.2 Everyone … temple: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text. and the shrines
to cry and weep.
All of Moab is crying.
Heads and beards are shaved#15.2 Heads … shaved: As a sign of sorrow and mourning.
because of what happened
at Nebo and Medeba.
3In the towns and at home,
everyone wears sackcloth
and cries loud and long.
4From Heshbon and Elealeh,
weeping is heard in Jahaz;
Moab's warriors scream
while trembling with fear.
Pity Moab
5I pity Moab!
Its people are running to Zoar
and to Eglath-Shelishiyah.
They cry on their way up
to the town of Luhith;
on the road to Horonaim
they tell of disasters.
6The streams of Nimrim
and the grasslands
have dried up.
Every plant is parched.
7The people of Moab are leaving,
crossing over Willow Creek,
taking everything they own
and have worked for.
8In the towns of Eglaim
and of Beerelim
and everywhere else in Moab
mournful cries are heard.
9The streams near Dimon
are flowing with blood.
But the Lord will bring
even worse trouble to Dimon,#15.9 Dimon … Dimon: The Standard Hebrew Text; the Dead Sea Scrolls and one ancient translation have “Dibon … Dibon.”
because all in Moab who escape
will be attacked by lions.#15.9 lions: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 9.
