Widespread Mourning and Flight of Refugees
Isaiah 15:5
Showing verse 5 with surrounding context.
2
Dibon goes up to its temple to weep at its high places. Moab wails over Nebo, as well as over Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off.
3
In its streets they wear sackcloth; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all wail, falling down weeping.
4
Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voices are heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore the soldiers of Moab cry out; their souls tremble within.
5
My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah. With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith; they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.
6
The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.
7
So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows.
8
For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; it is heard in Beer-elim.
