Isaiah 15

New International Version

Ar^(D) in Moab is ruined,^(E)
    destroyed in a night!
Kir^(F) in Moab is ruined,
    destroyed in a night!
² Dibon^(G) goes up to its temple,
    to its high places^(H) to weep;
    Moab wails^(I) over Nebo^(J) and Medeba.
Every head is shaved^(K)
    and every beard cut off.^(L)
3 In the streets they wear sackcloth;^(M)
    on the roofs^(N) and in the public squares^(O)
they all wail,^(P)
    prostrate with weeping.^(Q)
4 Heshbon^(R) and Elealeh^(S) cry out,
    their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.^(T)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
    and their hearts are faint.

⁵ My heart cries out^(U) over Moab;^(V)
    her fugitives^(W) flee as far as Zoar,^(X)
    as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
    weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaim^(Y)
    they lament their destruction.^(Z)
6 The waters of Nimrim are dried up^(AA)
    and the grass is withered;^(AB)
the vegetation is gone^(AC)
    and nothing green is left.^(AD)
7 So the wealth they have acquired^(AE) and stored up
    they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
⁸ Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
    their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
    their lamentation as far as Beer^(AF) Elim.
⁹ The waters of Dimon^[a] are full of blood,
    but I will bring still more upon Dimon^[b]—
a lion^(AG) upon the fugitives of Moab^(AH)
    and upon those who remain in the land.
