Isaiah 以赛亚书15

15An oracle¹ concerning Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night!
2Dibon goes up to its temple, to its high places to weep; Moab wails³ over Nebo and Medeba. Every head is shaved and every beard cut off.
3In the streets they wear sackcloth; on the roofs and in the public squares they all wail², prostrate⁴ with weeping.
4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out, and their hearts are faint.
5My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives⁵ flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath Shelishiyah. They go up the way to Luhith, weeping as they go; on the road to Horonaim they lament⁶ their destruction.
6The waters of Nimrim are dried up and the grass is withered⁷; the vegetation is gone and nothing green is left.
7So the wealth they have acquired and stored up they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
8Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab; their wailing⁸ reaches as far as Eglaim, their lamentation⁹ as far as Beer Elim.
9Dimon's waters are full of blood, but I will bring still more upon Dimon - a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon those who remain in the land.
