Chapter 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, 1cdissolved 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.
