Isaiah 15

Isaiah 15:7

"Therefore the abundance they have gained and what they have laid up
they carry away over the Brook of the Willows."

Isaiah 15

An Oracle Concerning Moab

1An oracle concerning Moab.
Because Ar of Moab is laid waste in a night,
Moab is undone;
because Kir of Moab is laid waste in a night,
Moab is undone.

2He has gone up to the temple, and to Dibon,
to the high places to weep;
over Nebo and over Medeba
Moab wails.
On every head is baldness;
every beard is shorn;

3in the streets they wear sackcloth;
on the housetops and in the squares
everyone wails and melts in tears.

4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;
their voice is heard as far as Jahaz;
therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
his soul trembles.

5My heart cries out for Moab;
her fugitives flee to Zoar,
to Eglath-shelishiyah.
For at the ascent of Luhith
they go up weeping;
on the road to Horonaim
they raise a cry of destruction;

6the waters of Nimrim
are a desolation;
the grass is withered, the vegetation fails,
the greenery is no more.

7 Therefore the abundance they have gained
and what they have laid up
they carry away
over the Brook of the Willows.

8For a cry has gone
around the land of Moab;
her wailing reaches to Eglaim;
her wailing reaches to Beer-elim.

9For the waters of Dibon are full of blood;
for I will bring upon Dibon even more,
a lion for those of Moab who escape,
for the remnant of the land.
