XV. 1 The Vision against the land of Moab.

By night shall the land of Moab perish, for by night shall the wall of the land of Moab perish.

2 Grieve ye for yourselves; for Dibon also shall perish, where your altar is; there shall ye go up to weep, upon Nebo of the land of Moab. Wail: (let there be) baldness on every head, all arms cut in pieces.

3 In her highways gird yourselves with sackcloth, and smite yourselves on her housetops and in her highways and in her streets; wail, ’of-you, with weeping.

4 For Heshbon hath cried aloud, and <Elealeh>; until voice was heard; therefore the loins of the land of Moab cry out, her heart shall learn.

5 The heart of the land of Moab crieth aloud within her unto Zoar; for she is (as) a heifer of three years old; and on the ascent of Luhith shall they go up weeping unto thee, by the way of Horonaim; destruction crieth out, and an earthquake;

6 The water of Nimrim shall be desolate and the grass thereof shall fail; for there shall be no green grass.

7 Is she like to be saved, even thus? for I will bring (the) Arabians upon the valley, and they shall take it.

8 For the cry hath reached the mountain of the land of Moab, Of Eglairn, and her wailing unto the well of Elim.

9 But the waters of Dimon shall be ﬁlled with blood; for I ’will bring (the) Arabians upon Dimon, and I will remove the seed of Moab, and Ariel, and the remnant of Adamah.
