Isaiah 15
The Burden against Moab (Jeremiah 48:1–47)
1 This is the burden against Moab:
Ar in Moab is ruined,
1 destroyed in a night!
Kir in Moab is devastated,
1 destroyed in a night!
2 Dibon goes up to its temple
to weep at its high places.
2 Moab wails over Nebo,
as well as over Medeba.
2 Every head is shaved,
every beard is cut off.
3 In its streets they wear sackcloth;
on the rooftops and in the public squares
3 they all wail, falling down weeping.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;
their voices are heard as far as Jahaz.
4 Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out;
their souls tremble within.
5 My heart cries out over Moab;
her fugitives flee as far as Zoar,
5 as far as Eglath-shelishiyah.
With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith;
5 they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
6 The waters of Nimrim are dried up,
and the grass is withered;
6 the vegetation is gone,
and the greenery is no more.
7 So they carry their wealth and belongings
over the Brook of the Willows.
8 For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab.
Their wailing reaches Eglaim;
8 it is heard in Beer-elim.
9 The waters of Dimon are full of blood,
but I will bring more upon Dimon—
9 a lion upon the fugitives of Moab
and upon the remnant of the land.
