Isaiah 15
15
Judgment on Moab
1The pronouncement concerning Moab:
Certainly in a night Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined;
Certainly in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.
2 # 15:2 Lit He has gone; i.e., Moab, meaning the people of Moab The people have gone up to the #15:2 Lit housetemple and to Dibon, to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone’s head is bald and every beard is cut off.
3In their streets they have put on sackcloth;
On their housetops and in their public squares
Everyone is wailing, #15:3 Lit going down in weepingovercome with weeping.
4Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore the #15:4 Another reading is the loins ofarmed men of Moab cry aloud;
His soul trembles within him.
5My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping;
Indeed, on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their collapse.
6For the waters of Nimrim are #15:6 Lit desolationsdesolate.
Indeed, the grass is withered, the new growth has died,
There is no greenery.
7Therefore the abundance which they have acquired and stored up,
They carry it off over the brook of #15:7 Or the poplarsArabim.
8For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab,
Its wailing goes as far as Eglaim and its howling to Beer-elim.
9For the waters of Dimon are full of #15:9 Heb dam (a wordplay)blood;
I will certainly bring added woes upon Dimon,
A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and the remnant of the land.

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.
