READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY

Today's Reading is Isaiah 15
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Isaiah 15

This is the prophecy against Moab (Isaiah 15-16.13). Moab was a long time enemy of Israel (Numbers 25; 31; Deuteronomy 23.3). The Moabites were related to the Jews in that there was an incestuos relationship between Lot and his daughters (Genesis 19.30-38).
Moab was in trouble! Notice the words used to describe lamentation of Moab: ruined, destroyed in a night, weep, wails, head shaved, beard cut off, sackcloth, weeping, cry out, etc.. The Moabites fled (Dibon) goes up to its temple but to no avail; to its high places to weep but to no avail.
Invading armies would need water and they would stop at Nimrim which was the major springs of Moab. The land was left desolate (v. 6-7). Notice in verse 9 that even the waters in Dimon was full of blood showing that many people were killed.
