Isaiah 15New International Version
A Prophecy Against Moab(A)
15 A prophecy(B)against Moab:(C)
Ar(D)in Moab is ruined,(E)
destroyed in a night!
Kir(F)in Moab is ruined,
destroyed in a night!
2 Dibon(G)goes up to its temple,
to its high places(H)to weep;
Moab wails(I)over Nebo(J)and Medeba.
Every head is shaved(K)
and every beard cut off.(L)
3 In the streets they wear sackcloth;(M)
on the roofs(N)and in the public squares(O)
they all wail,(P)
prostrate with weeping.(Q)
4 Heshbon(R)and Elealeh(S)cry out,
their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.(T)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
and their hearts are faint.
5 My heart cries out(U)over Moab;(V)
her fugitives(W)flee as far as Zoar,(X)
as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaim(Y)
they lament their destruction.(Z)
6 The waters of Nimrim are dried up(AA)
and the grass is withered;(AB)
the vegetation is gone(AC)
and nothing green is left.(AD)
7 So the wealth they have acquired(AE)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 Beer(AF)Elim.
9 The waters of Dimon[a]are full of blood,
but I will bring still more upon Dimon[b]—
a lion(AG)upon the fugitives of Moab(AH)
and upon those who remain in the land.
