15:1 Yahweh will destroy Moav

15 Here is a message for Moav (Moab):[ref]

So, in a night Ar in Moav will be laid waste, destroyed.

≈ So, in a night Kir in Moav will be laid waste, destroyed.

2 They’ve gone up to the temple, and Divon up to the hills to weep.

≈ Moav wails about Nevo and Medeva.

All their heads are bald.

≈ All their beards are cut off.

3 In their streets they wear sackcloth.

≈ On their (flat) roofs and in the square, everyone wails,

→ coming down in tears.

4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out—their voice is heard as far as Yahats.

≈ So too, the soldiers from Moav call out as their spirit trembles inside them.

5 My heart cries out for Moav, those who flee to Tsoar and to Eglat-Shelishiyah,

because they weep as they climb the Luhit ascent,

≈ yes, on the road to Horonaim, they cry loudly from their suffering.

6 The Nimrim spring has dried up so the grass has withered.

≈ The vegetation has disappeared so there’s no more greenery.

7 Because of that, they take the wealth they’ve made and their savings,

→ and they carry it away across the stream with the willows.

8 Yes, the cry has surrounded the Moav region,

and her wailing has carried as far as Eglayim and Beyt-Eylim,

9 because the Dimon stream is full of blood,

→ However, I’ll bring more on Dimon.

I’ll send a lion for Moav’s survivors,

≈ and for the remnant of the land.
