Isaiah 15
15
1The burden of Moab: For in the night of being laid waste, Ar of Moab is destroyed; for in the night of being laid waste, Kir of Moab is destroyed! 2He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off. 3In their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears. 4And Heshbon crieth, and Elealeh: their voice is heard unto Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out: his soul trembleth in him. 5My heart crieth out for Moab; their fugitives have fled unto Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah: for by the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up by it; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.
6For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the herbage is withered away, the grass hath failed, there is no green thing. 7Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows. 8For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim. 9For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay yet more upon Dimon: a lion upon them that are escaped of Moab, and upon that which remaineth 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.
