For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.
For the waters of [a]Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
(A)Lions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”

  1. Isaiah 15:9 So with MT, Tg.; DSS, Vg. Dibon; LXX Rimon

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.
