Isaiah 15

¹ A pronouncement concerning Moab: Ar in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night. Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night.

² Dibon went up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails on Nebo and at   Medeba. Every head is shaved; every beard is chopped short.

³ In its streets they wear sackcloth; on its rooftops and in its public squares everyone wails, falling down and weeping.

⁴ Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out, and they tremble.

⁵ My heart cries out over Moab, whose fugitives flee as far as Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah; they go up the Ascent of Luhith weeping; they raise a cry of destruction on the road to Horonaim.

⁶ The Waters of Nimrim  are desolate; the grass is withered, the foliage is gone, and the vegetation has vanished.

⁷ So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Wadi of the Willows.

⁸ For their cry echoes throughout the territory of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; their wailing reaches Beer-elim.

⁹ The Waters of Dibon  are full of blood, but I will bring on Dibon even more than this – a lion for those who escape from Moab, and for the survivors in the land.
