15:8 Indeed, the cries of distress echo throughout Moabite territory;
their wailing can be heard in Eglaim and Beer Elim. 1
54:12 I will make your pinnacles out of gems, 3
your gates out of beryl, 4
and your outer wall 5 out of beautiful 6 stones.

2 tn This word is sometimes used of a sacred pillar associated with pagan worship, but here it is associated with the worship of the Lord.
3 tn Perhaps, “rubies” (so ASV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
4 tn On the meaning of אֶקְדָּח (’eqdakh), which occurs only here, see HALOT 82 s.v.
5 tn Heb “border” (so ASV); NASB “your entire wall.”
