Isaiah 15:1-5

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;

Isaiah 15:8

8For a cry has gone
around the land of Moab;
her wailing reaches to Eglaim;
her wailing reaches to Beer-elim.

Isaiah 16:7-11

7Therefore let Moab wail for Moab,
rlet everyone wail.
Mourn, utterly stricken,
for the sraisin cakes of tKir-hareseth.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish,
and uthe vine of Sibmah;
the lords of the nations
have struck down its branches,
which reached to Jazer
and strayed to the desert;
its shoots spread abroad
and passed over the sea.
9Therefore vI weep with wthe weeping of Jazer
for the vine of Sibmah;
I drench you with my tears,
O Heshbon and Elealeh;
for over xyour summer fruit and your harvest
the shout has ceased.
10 yAnd joy and gladness are taken away from zthe fruitful field,
and in the vineyards no aasongs are sung,
no cheers are raised;
no abtreader treads out wine acin the presses;
I have put an end to the shouting.
11Therefore admy inner parts moan like a lyre for Moab,
and my inmost self for Kir-hareseth.

Jeremiah 48:1-5

Judgment on Moab

1 aeConcerning Moab.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:

Woe to afNebo, for it is laid waste!
agKiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken;
the fortress is put to shame ahand broken down;
2the renown of Moab is no more.
In aiHeshbon they planned disaster against her:
Come, let us cut her off ajfrom being a nation!’
You also, O akMadmen, shall be brought to silence;
the sword shall pursue you.
3 “A voice! A cry from alHoronaim,
Desolation and great destruction!’
4Moab is destroyed;
her little ones have made a cry.
5 amFor at the ascent of Luhith
they go up weeping;
Hebrew weeping goes up with weeping

for aoat the descent of Horonaim
they have heard the distressed cry
Septuagint (compare Isaiah 15:5)  heard the cry
of destruction.
