NASB Bible

Isaiah 15

Judgment on Moab

1

The  1oracle concerning  aMoab. Surely in a night  bAr of Moab is devastated and ruined; Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.

2

They have gone up to the  1temple and to  aDibon, even to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba; Everyone's head is  bbald and every beard is cut off.

3

In their streets they have girded themselves with  asackcloth;  bOn their housetops and in their squares Everyone is wailing,  1 cdissolved in tears.

4

 aHeshbon and Elealeh also cry out, Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz; Therefore the  1armed men of Moab cry aloud; His soul trembles within him.

5

My heart cries out for Moab; His fugitives are as far as  aZoar and Eglath-shelishiyah, For they go up the  bascent of Luhith weeping; Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress  cover their ruin.

6

For the  awaters of Nimrim are  1desolate. Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass  2died out, There is  bno green thing.

7

Therefore the  aabundance which they have acquired and stored up They carry off over the brook of  1Arabim.

8

For the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab, Its wail goes as far as Eglaim and its wailing even to Beer-elim.

9

For the waters of Dimon are full of  1blood; Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon, A  alion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
