Isaiah 15:2-9 ▼

2 Daughter Dibon has gone up to the high places to weep; Over Nebo and over Medeba Moab is wailing. Every head is shaved, every beard sheared off.

3 In the streets they wear sackcloth, and on the rooftops; In the squares everyone wails, streaming with tears.

4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, they are heard as far as Jahaz. At this the loins of Moab tremble, his soul quivers within him;

5 My heart cries out for Moab, his fugitives reach Zoar, Eglath-shelishiyah: The ascent of Luhith they ascend weeping; On the way to Horonaim they utter rending cries;

6 The waters of Nimrim have become a waste, The grass is withered, new growth is gone, nothing is green.

7 So now whatever they have acquired or stored away they carry across the Wadi of the Poplars.

8 The cry has gone round the territory of Moab; As far as Eglaim his wailing, even at Beer-elim his wailing.

9 The waters of Dimon are filled with blood, but I will bring still more upon Dimon: Lions for those who are fleeing from Moab and for those who remain in the land!
