Isaiah 15


Proclamation Against Moab

The aburden1 against Moab.

Because in the night bAr of cMoab is laid waste
And destroyed,
Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste
And destroyed,

2
He has gone up to the 1temple and Dibon,
To the high places to weep.
Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba;
aOn all their heads will be baldness,
And every beard cut off.

3
In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth;
On the tops of their houses
And in their streets
Everyone will wail, aweeping bitterly.

4
Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out,
Their voice shall be heard as far as aJahaz;
Therefore the 1armed soldiers of Moab will cry out;
His life will be burdensome to him.


5
“Mya heart will cry out for Moab;
His fugitives shall flee to Zoar,
Like 1a three‑year‑old heifer.
For bby the Ascent of Luhith
They will go up with weeping;
For in the way of Horonaim
They will raise up a cry of destruction,

6
For the waters aof Nimrim will be desolate,
For the green grass has withered away;
The grass fails, there is nothing green.

7
Therefore the abundance they have gained,
And what they have laid up,
They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.

8
For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.

9
For the waters of 1Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
aLions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”
