Isaiah 15 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Judgment on Moab

Isa 15:1The [fn]oracle concerning Moab.
Surely in a night Ar of Moab is devastated and ruined;
Surely in a night Kir of Moab is devastated and ruined.

Isa 15:2

Isa 15:2They have gone up to the [fn]temple and to Dibon, even to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone’s head is bald and every beard is cut off.

Isa 15:3

Isa 15:3In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth;
On their housetops and in their squares
Everyone is wailing, [fn]dissolved in tears.

Isa 15:4

Isa 15:4Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore the [fn]armed men of Moab cry aloud;
His soul trembles within him.

Isa 15:5

Isa 15:5My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping;
Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their ruin.

Isa 15:6

Isa 15:6For the waters of Nimrim are [fn]desolate.
Surely the grass is withered, the tender grass [fn]died out,
There is no green thing.

Isa 15:7

Isa 15:7Therefore the abundance which they have acquired and stored up
They carry off over the brook of [fn]Arabim.

Isa 15:8

Isa 15:8For 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.

Isa 15:9

Isa 15:9For the waters of Dimon are full of [fn]blood;
Surely I will bring added woes upon Dimon,
A lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
