Text -- Isaiah 15:5-9 (NET)

Strongs On/Off

Context

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. 15:7 For this reason what they have made and stored up, they carry over the Stream of the Poplars. 15:8 Indeed, the cries of distress echo throughout Moabite territory; their wailing can be heard in Eglaim and Beer Elim. 15:9 Indeed, the waters of Dimon are full of blood! Indeed, I will heap even more trouble on Dimon. A lion will attack the Moabite fugitives and the people left in the land.
