Isaiah 15 - Hebrew Names version (HNV)

¹ The burden of Mo'av: for in a night, `Ar of Mo'av is laid waste, and brought to nothing; for in a night Kir of Mo'av is laid waste, and brought to nothing.

² They have gone up to Bayit, and to Divon, to the high places, to weep. Mo'av wails over Nevo 1 and over Medeva. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off.

³ In their streets, they dress themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.

⁴ Cheshbon cries out with El`aleh. Their voice is heard even to Yahatz. Therefore the armed men of Mo'av cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.

⁵ My heart cries out for Mo'av! Her Nazirites flee to Tzo`ar, to Eglat-Shelishi-Yah; for they go up by the ascent of Luchit with weeping; for in the way of Choronayim, they raise up a cry of destruction.

⁶ For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.

⁷ Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the brook of the willows.

⁸ For the cry has gone around the borders of Mo'av; its wailing to Eglayim, and its wailing to Be'er Elim.

⁹ For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more on Dimon, a lion on those of Mo'av who escape, and on the remnant of the land.
