  1. Isaiah 15:6 tn Heb “are waste places”; cf. NRSV “are a desolation.”
  2. Isaiah 15:8 tn Heb “to Eglaim [is] her wailing, and [to] Beer Elim [is] her wailing.”

The waters of Nimrim are dried up(A)
    and the grass is withered;(B)
the vegetation is gone(C)
    and nothing green is left.(D)

    their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
    their lamentation as far as Beer(F) Elim.
