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.
