< Isaiah 15 >

1 [the] oracle of Moab that in a night [which] it was devastated Ar of Moab it was destroyed that in a night [which] it was devastated Kir of Moab it was destroyed.
The doom of Moab. Truly in a night is 'Ar of Moab plundered, it is laid waste; truly in a night is Kir of Moab plundered, it is laid waste.
2 It has gone up the house and Dibon the high places for weeping on Nebo and on Medeba Moab it is wailing [is] on all heads its baldness every beard [is] diminished.
It goeth up to the [idol-]house, and Dibon [goeth] up to the high-places to weep, on Nebo and on Medeba shall Moab wail: on all its heads there is baldness, and every beard is hewn off.
3 In streets its they have girded on sackcloth on roofs its and in open places its all of it it is wailing going down in weeping.
In its streets they are girded with sack-cloth, on its roofs, and in its public places every one shall wail, groan with weeping.
4 And it has cried out Heshbon and Elealeh to Jahaz it has been heard voice their there-fore [the] armed [men] of Moab they are shouting being its it is trembling to it.
And loud crieth Cheshbon with El'aleh; as far as Yahaz is heard their voice: therefore the armed men of Moab shall howl; its soul is grieved for itself.
5 Heart my for Moab it cries out fugitives its [are] to Zoar Eglath Shelishiyah for - [the] ascent of Luhith with weeping it is going up on it that [the] road of Horonaim a cry of shattering they rouse.
My heart will cry for Moab, whose fugitives are as far as Zo'ar, [and] the third 'Eglarth; for the ascent of Luchith—with weeping is it ascended; for on the way to Choronayim they let resound the cry of defeat [in battle].
6 That [the] waters of Nimrim wastes they are for it has dried up grass it has wasted away vegetation greenery not it is.
For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for dry is the grass, gone are the herbs, and green things are no more.
7 There-fore [the] wealth [which] it has made and store their over [the] wadi of the poplars they carry off them.
Therefore the rest of their acquisitions and what they possess shall they carry away over the brook of the willows.
8 For it has gone around the cry [the] territory of Moab to Eglaim wailing its and Beer Elim wailing its.
For the cry hath encompassed the boundary of Moab; up to Eglayim [is heard] its wail, and at Beer-elim [is heard] its wail.
9 That [the] waters of Dimon they are full blood that I will put on Dimon added [things] [will be] for [the] escaped remnant of Moab a lion and for [the] remainder of [the] land.
For the waters of Dimon are filled with blood; for I will bring over Dimon armed bands; over the escaped of Moab [cometh] a lion, and over the remnant of the land.
