Isaiah Chapter 15
1 Oracle About Moab
Moab will be ruined
because Ar and Kir will be wiped out overnight.
2 The people of Dibon will go up to their temple
and high places to weep.
Moab will mourn over Nebo and Medeba;
everyone’s head will be bald, and their beard shaved off.
3 They’ll put on burlap
in the streets and squares and on the housetops.
Everyone will be wailing, melting in tears.
4 The outcries of Heshbon and Elealeh
will echo all the way to Jahaz;
the armed men of Moab will cry out in panic;
their souls will tremble inside them.
Is 15:1-4
5My heart weeps for Moab;
its refugees are fleeing as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah;
they’re going up to Luhith sobbing.
All along the road to Horonaim,
they’re crying out in distress over their ruin.
6 The water at Nimrim has dried up;
the tender grass has withered;
there’s nothing green anywhere.
7 The abundance they stored up
is being carried away across Wadi Arabim.
8 Their distress cry has gone all over Moab;
their wail as far as Eglaim and Beer-elim.
9 The stream near Dibon is running red with blood;
I’ll bring yet more anguish on Dibon:
a lion on the refugees from Moab
and the remnant that’s still in the land.
Is 15:5-9
