Isaiah 15

Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Switch Version:

¹ A pronouncement concerning Moab: ⓔ Ar in Moab is devastated, ⓕ destroyed in a night. Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night.

² Dibon went up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails on Nebo and at [1] Medeba. Every head is shaved; every beard is chopped short.

³ In its streets they wear sackcloth; on its rooftops and in its public squares everyone wails, falling down and weeping.

⁴ Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz. ⓖ Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out, and they tremble. [2]

⁵ My heart cries out over Moab, whose fugitives flee as far as Zoar, ⓗ to Eglath-shelishiyah; they go up the Ascent of Luhith weeping; they raise a cry of destruction on the road to Horonaim.

⁶ The Waters of Nimrim ⓘ are desolate; the grass is withered, the foliage is gone, and the vegetation has vanished.

⁷ So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Wadi of the Willows. ⓙ

⁸ For their cry echoes throughout the territory of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; their wailing reaches Beer-elim.

⁹ The Waters of Dibon [3] are full of blood, ⓚ but I will bring on Dibon [4] even more than this — a lion for those who escape from Moab, and for the survivors in the land. ⓛ
