For a cry for help has encircled the territory of Moab,
    her wailing is heard as far as Eglaim,
    and her wailing as far as Beer Elim.
For the waters of Dimon[a] are full of blood;
    but I will place added things upon Dimon:
a lion for the survivors[b] of Moab
    and for the remnant of the land.

  1. Isaiah 15:9 One of the Dead Sea Scrolls reads “Dibon” here
  2. Isaiah 15:9 Hebrew “survivor”

Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
    their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
    their lamentation as far as Beer(A) Elim.
The waters of Dimon[a] are full of blood,
    but I will bring still more upon Dimon[b]
a lion(B) upon the fugitives of Moab(C)
    and upon those who remain in the land.
