Isaiah 15
1A declaration about Moab. 1 Indeed, in one night Ar of Moab is laid waste and destroyed; 1 indeed, in one night Kir of Moab is laid waste and destroyed. 1
2They have gone up to the temple, the people of Dibon went up to the heights to weep; 1 Moab laments over Nebo and over Medeba. 1 All their heads are shaved bare and all their beards are cut off. 1
3In their streets they wear sackcloth; on their housetops 1 and in the square everyone wails, melting in tears. 1
4Heshbon and Elealeh call out for help; their sound is heard as far as Jahaz. 1 So the armed men of Moab call out for help; they tremble within themselves. 1
5My heart cries out for Moab; her fugitives flee to Zoar and to Eglath Shelishiyah. 1 They go up the ascent of Luhith weeping; 1 on the road to Horonaim they loudly wail over their destruction. 1
6The waters of Nimrim are a desolation; 1 the grass is withered; 1 the vegetation has dried up; 1 there is no more green grass. 1
7The abundance they have grown and stored 1 they carry away over the brook of the poplars. 1
8The cry has gone around the territory of Moab; 1 the wailing as far as Eglaim and Beer Elim. 1
9For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; but I will bring even more upon Dimon. 1 A lion will attack those who escape from Moab and also those remaining in the land.
