Isaiah 15:7

"For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing."

Key Reflection

These verses depict a barren and lifeless landscape, symbolizing divine judgment and the desolation of Moab. The withering vegetation suggests the complete absence of hope and prosperity, mirroring God's wrathful intervention and the consequent devastation of the region.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Therefore, the abundance they have gotten -Their wealth they shall remove from a place that is utterly burned up with drought, where the waters and the grass fail, to another place where they may find water. To the brook of willows -Margin, ‘The valley of the Arabians.’ The Septuagint renders it, ‘I will lead them to the valley of the Arabians, and they shall take it.’ So Saadias. It might, perhaps, be called the valley of the Arabians, because it was the boundary line between them and Arabia on the south.
