Isaiah 15 15 Isaiah Oracles about the nations Unlocked English Bible The Burden against Moab (Jeremiah 48:1–47)
1 UEB A declaration about Moab. Indeed, in one night Ar of Moab is laid waste and destroyed; indeed, in one night Kir of Moab is laid waste and destroyed. BSB BSB: This is the burden against Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a night!
2 UEB They have gone up to the temple, the people of Dibon went up to the heights to weep; Moab laments over Nebo and over Medeba. All their heads are shaved bare and all their beards are cut off. BSB BSB: Dibon goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails over Nebo, as well as over Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off.
3 UEB In their streets they wear sackcloth; on their housetops and in the square everyone wails, melting in tears. BSB BSB: In its streets they wear sackcloth; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all wail, falling down weeping.
4 UEB Heshbon and Elealeh call out for help; their sound is heard as far as Jahaz. So the armed men of Moab call out for help; they tremble within themselves. BSB BSB: Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out; their souls tremble within.
5 UEB My heart cries out for Moab; her fugitives flee to Zoar and to Eglath Shelishiyah. They go up the ascent of Luhith weeping; on the road to Horonaim they loudly wail over their destruction. BSB BSB: My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith; they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
6 UEB The waters of Nimrim are a desolation; the grass is withered; the vegetation has dried up; there is no more green grass. BSB BSB: The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.
7 UEB The abundance they have grown and stored they carry away over the brook of the poplars. BSB BSB: So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows.
8 UEB The cry has gone around the territory of Moab; the wailing as far as Eglaim and Beer Elim. BSB BSB: For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; it is heard in Beer-elim.
9 UEB For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; but I will bring even more upon Dimon. A lion will attack those who escape from Moab and also those remaining in the land. BSB BSB: The waters of Dimon are full of blood, but I will bring more upon Dimon—a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
