Isaiah 15 (WEBP)

[1] The burden of Moab. For in a night, Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing. For in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.
[2] They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. Baldness is on all of their heads. Every beard is cut off.
[3] In their streets, they clothe themselves in sackcloth. In their streets and on their housetops, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.
[4] Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.
[5] My heart cries out for Moab! Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for on the way to Horonaim, they raise up a cry of destruction.
[6] For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.
[7] Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the brook of the willows.
[8] For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab, its wailing to Eglaim, and its wailing to Beer Elim.
[9] For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more on Dimon, a lion on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land.

Young’s Literal Translation

Isaiah 15 (YLT)

[1] The burden of Moab. Because in a night destroyed was Ar of Moab -It hath been cut off, Because in a night destroyed was Kir of Moab -It hath been cut off.
[2] He hath gone up to Bajith and Dibon, The high places-to weep, On Nebo and on Medeba Moab howleth, On all its heads is baldness, every beard cut off.
[3] In its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its pinnacles, and in its broad places, Every one howleth-going down with weeping.
[4] And cry doth Heshbon and Elealeh, Unto Jahaz heard hath been their voice, Therefore the armed ones of Moab do shout, His life hath been grievous to him.
[5] My heart is toward Moab, Cry do her fugitives unto Zoar, a heifer of the third year, For-the ascent of Luhith- With weeping he goeth up in it, For, in the way of Horonaim, A cry of destruction they wake up.
[6] For, the waters of Nimrim are desolations, For, withered hath been the hay, Finished hath been the tender grass, A green thing there hath not been.
[7] Therefore the abundance he made, and their store, Unto the brook of the willows they carry.
[8] For gone round hath the cry the border of Moab, Unto Eglaim is its howling, And to Beer-Elim is its howling.
[9] For the waters of Dimon have been full of blood, For I set on Dimon additions, For the escaped of Moab a lion, And for the remnant of Adamah!
