Isa. 15:1 |
The burden concerning Moab: Indeed in a night it is devastated-- / Ar of Moab is cut off. Indeed in a night it is devastated-- / Kir of Moab is cut off. |
Isa. 15:2 |
They have gone up to their temple and to Dibon, / [That is,] to their high places, to weep. / Over Nebo and over Medeba / Moab howls; / Upon all their heads is baldness; / Every beard is shaved off. |
Isa. 15:3 |
In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth; / On their roofs / And in their open squares everyone will howl, / Melting in tears. |
Isa. 15:4 |
And Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; / Their voice is heard as far as Jahaz. / Because of this the armed men of Moab raise a cry; / Their soul quivers within them. |
Isa. 15:5 |
My heart cries out for Moab; / Its fugitives [reach] as far as Zoar, [as far as] Eglath-shelishiyah: / By the ascent of Luhith / With weeping they will go up; / On the way [that leads to] Horonaim / They will raise up a cry of destruction; |
Isa. 15:6 |
The waters of Nimrim / Will be a devastation; / The foliage will be dried up, the grass wasted away; / There will be nothing green. |
Isa. 15:7 |
As a result, the abundance they have produced / And placed in reserve / Will be carried off / To the poplar brook. |
Isa. 15:8 |
For the cry has gone about / The border of Moab; / Their howling [goes] as far as Eglaim, / Even to Beer-elim their howling [reaches.] |
Isa. 15:9 |
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, / For I will bring upon Dimon additional things: / Lions upon those in Moab who escape / And upon the remnant of the land. |
