Isaiah
15
- An oracle concerning Moab: Ar in Moab is
ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night
!
- Dibon goes up to its temple, to its high
places to weep; Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba. Every head is shaved and
every beard cut off.
- In the streets they wear sackcloth; on the
roofs and in the public squares they all wail, prostrate with weeping.
- Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, their voices
are heard all the way to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out, and
their hearts are faint.
- My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives
flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath Shelishiyah. They go up the way to Luhith,
weeping as they go; on the road to Horonaim they lament their destruction.
- The waters of Nimrim are dried up and the
grass is withered; the vegetation is gone and nothing green is left.
- So the wealth they have acquired and stored
up they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
- Their outcry echoes along the border of
Moab; their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim, their lamentation as far as
Beer Elim.
- Dimon's waters are full of blood, but I
will bring still more upon Dimon--a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon
those who remain in the land.
