Isaiah 15

Revised Geneva Translation

15 The burden of Moab. Surely, Ar of Moab was destroyed, brought to silence in a night. Surely, Kir of Moab was destroyed, brought to silence in a night.

² He shall go up to the Temple, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. For Nebo and for Medeba shall Moab howl. Upon all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shall be shaven.

³ In their streets, they shall be girded with sackcloth. On the tops of their houses, and in their streets, everyone shall howl and come down with weeping.

⁴ And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh. Their voice shall be heard to Jahaz. Therefore, the warriors of Moab shall shout. The soul of everyone shall lament in himself.

⁵ “My heart shall cry for Moab. Its fugitives shall flee to Zoar, as a heifer of three years old. For they shall go up with weeping by the mounting up of Luhith. And by the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.

⁶ “For the waters of Nimrim shall be dried up. Therefore, the grass is withered, the herbs consumed. There was no green herb.

⁷ “Therefore, what has been left, and their substance, they shall bear to the brook of the willows.

⁸ “For the cry went all around about the borders of Moab, its howling to Eglaim, and its shrieking to Beer Elim,

⁹ “Because the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood. For I will bring more upon Dimon, even lions, upon him who escapes from Moab, and to the remnant of the land.”
