Context
The Lord Will Judge Moab
15:1 Here is a message about Moab : Indeed , in a night it is devastated , Ar of Moab is destroyed ! Indeed , in a night it is devastated , Kir of Moab is destroyed !
15:2 They went up to the temple , the people of Dibon went up to the high places to lament . Because of what happened to Nebo and Medeba , Moab wails . Every head is shaved bare , every beard is trimmed off .
15:3 In their streets they wear sackcloth ; on their roofs and in their town squares all of them wail , they fall down weeping .
15:4 The people of Heshbon and Elealeh cry out , their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz . For this reason Moab’s soldiers shout in distress ; their courage wavers.
15:5 My heart cries out because of Moab’s plight, and for the fugitives stretched out as far as Zoar and Eglath Shelishiyah . For they weep as they make their way up the ascent of Luhith ; they loudly lament their demise on the road to Horonaim .
15:6 For the waters of Nimrim are gone ; the grass is dried up, the vegetation has disappeared , and there are no plants .
