ArH6144 in MoabH4124 is ruinedH7703,destroyedH1820H3588 in a nightH3915!KirH7024 in MoabH4124 is devastatedH7703,destroyedH1820 in a nightH3915!2DibonH1769 goes upH5927 to its templeH1004to weepH1065 at its high placesH1116.MoabH4124 wailsH3213 overH5921 NeboH5015,as well as overH5921 MedebaH4311.
EveryH3605 headH7218 is shavedH7144,everyH3605 beardH2206 is cut offH1639.3In its streetsH2351 they wearH2296 sackclothH8242;onH5921 the rooftopsH1406 and in the public squaresH7339they allH3605 wailH3213, falling downH3381 weepingH1065.4HeshbonH2809 and ElealehH500 cry outH2199;their voicesH6963 are heardH8085 as far asH5704 JahazH3096.ThereforeH5921H3651 the soldiersH2502 of MoabH4124 cry outH7321;their soulsH5315 trembleH3415 within.
5My heartH3820 cries outH2199 over MoabH4124;her fugitivesH1281 flee asH5704 far as ZoarH6820,as far as Eglath-shelishiyahH5697H7992.1With weepingH1065 they ascendH5927 the slopeH4608 of LuhithH3872;they lamentH5782H2201 their destructionH7667 on the roadH1870 to HoronaimH2773.6The watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 areH1961H3588 dried upH4923,and the grassH2682 is witheredH3001;the vegetationH1877 is goneH3615,and the greeneryH3418 isH1961 no moreH3808.7SoH5921H3651 they carryH5375 their wealthH3502H6213 and belongingsH6486overH5921 the BrookH5158 of the WillowsH6155.2
8ForH3588 their outcryH2201 echoesH5362 to the borderH1366 of MoabH4124H5704.Their wailingH3215 reaches EglaimH97;it is heard in Beer-elimH879.9The watersH4325 of DimonH17753 are full ofH4390 bloodH1818H3588,butH3588 I will bringH7896 moreH3254 uponH5921 DimonH1775—a lionH738 upon the fugitivesH6413 of MoabH4124and upon the remnantH7611 of the landH127.

Notes

  1. 1. Isaiah 15:5 Or Zoar, like a heifer three years of age. ↩
  2. 2. Isaiah 15:7 Or Poplars ↩
  3. 3. Isaiah 15:9 MT, twice in this verse; DSS and Vulgate Dibon; Dimon, a wordplay on Dibon (see verse 2), sounds like the Hebrew for blood. ↩
