< 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 burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to nought; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to nought.
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.
He is gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep: Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut 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 their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth: on their housetops, and in their broad places, every one howleth, weeping abundantly.
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 Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembleth within him.
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 crieth out for Moab; her nobles [flee] unto Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah: for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.
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 the grass is withered away, the tender grass faileth, there is no green thing.
7 There-fore [the] wealth [which] it has made and store their over [the] wadi of the poplars they carry off them.
Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to 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 is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
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 full of blood: for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
