Isaiah, 15

¹ A pronouncement against Moʹab: Because it has been devastated in a night, Ar of Moʹab has been silenced. Because it has been devastated in a night, Kir of Moʹab has been silenced.

² He has gone up to the House^*1 and to Diʹbon, To the high places to weep. Moʹab wails over Neʹbo and over Medʹe·ba. Every head is shaved bald, every beard is clipped.

³ In its streets they have put on sackcloth. On their roofs and in their public squares they all wail; They go down weeping.

⁴ Heshʹbon and E·le·aʹleh cry out; Their voice is heard as far as Jaʹhaz. That is why the armed men of Moʹab keep shouting. He^*1 is trembling.

⁵ My heart cries out over Moʹab. Its fugitives have fled as far as Zoʹar and Egʹlath-she·liʹshi·yah. On the ascent of Luʹhith they weep as they go up; On the way to Hor·o·naʹim they cry out over the catastrophe.

⁶ For the waters of Nimʹrim are desolate; The green grass has dried up, The grass is gone and nothing green is left.

⁷ That is why they are carrying away what is left of their stores and their riches; They are crossing the valley^*1 of poplars.

⁸ For the outcry echoes throughout the territory of Moʹab. The wailing reaches to Eg·laʹim; The wailing reaches to Beʹer-eʹlim.

⁹ For the waters of Diʹmon are full of blood, And I have more in store for Diʹmon: A lion for those of Moʹab who escape And for those remaining in the land.
