Isaiah 15:1–9
destroyed in a night!
Kirc in Moab is ruined,
destroyed in a night!
2 Dibond goes up to its temple,
to its high placese to weep;
Moab wailsf over Nebog and Medeba.
Every head is shavedh
and every beard cut off.i
3 In the streets they wear sackcloth;j
on the roofsk and in the public squaresl
they all wail,m
prostrate with weeping.n
4 Heshbono and Elealehp cry out,
their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.q
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
and their hearts are faint.
5 My heart cries outr over Moab;s
her fugitivest flee as far as Zoar,u
as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaimv
they lament their destruction.w
6 The waters of Nimrim are dried upx
and the grass is withered;y
the vegetation is gonez
and nothing green is left.a
7 So the wealth they have acquiredb and stored up
they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
8 Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
their lamentation as far as Beerc Elim.
9 The waters of Dimona are full of blood,
but I will bring still more upon Dimonb—
a liond upon the fugitives of Moabe
and upon those who remain in the land.
