<< Isaiah 15 >> New American Standard Bible ©   Judgment on Moab 1 The oracle concerning Moab.  Surely in a night Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined;  Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined. 2 They have gone up to the temple 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. 3 In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth;  On their housetops and in their squares  Everyone is wailing, dissolved in tears. 4 Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,  Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;  Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;  His soul trembles within him. 5 My 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. 6 For the waters of Nimrim are desolate.  Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass died out,  There is no green thing. 7 Therefore the abundance which they have acquired and stored up  They carry off over the brook of Arabim. 8 For 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. 9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood;  Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon,  A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
