Isaiah 15

An Oracle Concerning Moab

15The 1oracle concerning aMoab. Surely in a night bAr of Moab is destroyed and ruined;Surely in a night Kir of Moab is destroyed and ruined.
2They have gone up to the 1temple and to aDibon, even to the high places to weep.Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;Everyone’s head is bbald and every beard is cut off.3In their streets they have girded themselves with asackcloth;bOn their rooftops and in their squaresEveryone is wailing, 1,cdissolved in weeping.4aHeshbon and Elealeh also cry out,Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;Therefore 1the armed men of Moab make a loud shout;His soul trembles within him.5My heart cries out for Moab;Those who flee from her are as far as aZoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,For they go up the bascent of Luhith weeping;Surely on the road to Horonaim they keep awake with crying in distress cover their destruction.6For the awaters of Nimrim are 1desolate.Surely the grass is dried up, the tender grass has 2completely ceased,There is bno green thing.7Therefore the aabundance they have made and stored upThey carry off over the brook of 1Arabim.8For the cry has gone around the territory of Moab,Its wailing goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.9For the waters of Dimon are full of 1blood;Surely I will put added woes upon Dimon,A alion upon those of Moab who have escaped and upon the remnant of the land.
