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

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.
