Judgment on Moab: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTER

Isaiah, Chapter 15

¹ The^aoracle concerning Moab.Surely in a night Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined;
Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.

²They have gone up to the^btemple and to Dibon, even to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone’s head is bald and every beard is cut off.

³In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth;
On their housetops and in their squares
Everyone is wailing,^cdissolved in tears.

⁴Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore the^darmed men of Moab cry aloud;
His soul trembles within him.

⁵My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping;
Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their ruin.

⁶For the waters of Nimrim are^edesolate.
Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass^fdied out,
There is no green thing.

⁷Therefore the abundance which they have acquired and stored up
They carry off over the brook of^gArabim.

⁸For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab,
Its wail goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.

⁹For the waters of Dimon are full of^hblood;
Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon,
A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
