Isaiah 15

Judgment on Moab

1 The mournful, inspired oracle ((F1)a burden to be carried) concerning (C1)Moab:

Because in a night (C2)Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined;
Because in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.

2 They have gone up to the temple and to (C1)Dibon, to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba;
Everyone's head is (C2)shaved, and every beard is cut off in mourning. (VR1)

3 In their streets they have wrapped themselves with (C1)sackcloth;
(C2)On their flat housetops and in their open squares
Everyone is wailing, (C3)dissolved in tears.

4 (C1)Heshbon and Elealeh cities claimed by Moab cry out;
Their voice is heard as far as Jahaz.
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out;
Moab's soul trembles within him.

5 My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are fleeing as far as (C1)Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah.
For they go up the (C2)ascent of Luhith weeping;
For on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress (C3)over their destruction. (VR1)

6 For the (C1)waters of Nimrim are desolate.
Indeed the grass is withered, the new growth dies;
There is (C2)no green thing.

7 Therefore the (C1)abundance which they have acquired and stored away
They carry off over the Brook of the Willows.

8 For the cry of distress has echoed around the territory of Moab;
The wailing goes as far as Eglaim and the mournful cry to Beer-elim.

9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood;
Yet I will bring even more woes on Dimon—
A (C1)lion upon those of Moab who escape and upon the remnant of the land.
