Isaiah 15
An Oracle Concerning Moab
1An aoracle concerning bMoab.Because cAr of Moab is laid waste in a night,
Moab is undone;
because dKir of Moab is laid waste in a night,
Moab is undone.
2He has gone up to the temple, ▼
▼Hebrew the house
and to fDibon,to the high places ▼
▼Or temple, even Dibon to the high places
to weep;over hNebo and over iMedeba
Moab jwails.
On every head is kbaldness;
every beard is shorn;
3in the streets they wear sackcloth;
on the housetops and in the squares
everyone wails and melts in tears.
4 lHeshbon and mElealeh cry out;
their voice is heard as far as nJahaz;
therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
his soul trembles.
5My heart cries out for Moab;
her fugitives flee to Zoar,
to oEglath-shelishiyah.
For at the pascent of Luhith
they go up weeping;
on the road to qHoronaim
they raise a cry of destruction;
6the waters of rNimrim
are a desolation;
the grass is withered, the vegetation fails,
the greenery is no more.
7 sTherefore 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
around the land of Moab;
her wailing reaches to Eglaim;
her wailing reaches to Beer-elim.
9For the waters of tDibon ▼
▼Dead Sea Scroll, Vulgate (compare Syriac); Masoretic Text Dimon; twice in this verse
are full of blood;for I will bring upon Dibon even more,
va lion for those of Moab who escape,
for the remnant of the land.
