Isaiah
Lament for Moab
15
1 An oracle concerning Moab:
1 Laid waste in a night,
1 Ar of Moab is silent!
1 Laid waste in a night,
1 Kir of Moab is ruined!
2 The people of Diman have gone
2 to the high places to weep.
2 Over Nebo and Medeba Moab wails.
2 Every head is shaved,
2 every beard is shorn.
3 In the streets they wear sackcloth,
3 on the rooftops and in the squares
3 everyone wails,
3 every heart melts in tears.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out
4 their howling is heard as far as Jahaz
4 the armed men of Moab cry aloud
4 and their hearts are faint.
5 My heart cries out for Moab
5 her fugitives flee as far as Zoar,
5 as far as Eglath-shelishiyah.
5 At the ascent of Luhith
5 they go up weeping
5 on the way to Horonaim
5 their cries are heart-rending.
6 The watered fields of Nimrim
6 have become a wasteland
6 the turf is dried up,
6 the grass is withered,
6 the verdure is gone.
7 Now they carry away their possessions,
7 the wealth they have stored up,
7 to the Brook of the Willows.
8 Their cry rings round the border of Moab,
8 resounds as far as Eglaim,
8 reaches as far as Beer Elim.
9 The waters of Dimon flow with blood,
9 but worse is yet in store,
9 for I will bring lions upon Dimon,
9 upon those who escape from Moab,
9 and upon those who survive in the land.
