Isaiah 15

Judgment on Moab

1 The pronouncement concerning ^aMoab:

Certainly in a night ^bAr of Moab is devastated and ruined;
Certainly in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.
2 ^{▼▼Lit He has gone; i.e., Moab, meaning the people of Moab}The people have gone up to the ^{▼▼Lit house}temple and to ^eDibon, to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone’s head is ^fbald and every beard is cut off.
3 In their streets they have put on ^gsackcloth;
^hOn their housetops and in their public squares
Everyone is wailing, ^{▼▼Lit going down in weeping
,} ^jovercome with weeping.
4 ^kHeshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore the ^{▼▼Another reading is the loins of}armed men of Moab cry aloud;
His soul trembles within him.
5 My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as ^mZoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ⁿascent of Luhith weeping;
Indeed, on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress ^oover their collapse.
6 For the ^pwaters of Nimrim are ^{▼▼Lit desolations}desolate.
Indeed, the grass is withered, the new growth has died,
There is ^rno greenery.
7 Therefore the ^sabundance which they have acquired and stored up,
They carry it off over the brook of ^{▼▼Or the poplars}Arabim.
8 For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab,
Its wailing goes as far as Eglaim and its howling to Beer-elim.
9 For the waters of Dimon are full of ^{▼▼Heb dam (a wordplay)}blood;
I will certainly bring added woes upon Dimon,
A ^vlion upon the fugitives of Moab and the remnant of the land.
