Isaiah 15:7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version
7 So they will carry across the Ravine of Poplars[a]
whatever remains from the wealth they acquired
and from the supplies they stored up.
8 For a cry has echoed around the borders of Moab.
The wailing reaches to Eglaim
and all the way to Be’er Elim.
9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood,[b]
and I will bring still more on Dimon.
I will bring a lion upon the refugees of Moab
and upon the survivors who remain in the land.
Footnotes
- Isaiah 15:7 Probably the ravine on the border between Moab and Edom
- Isaiah 15:9 The Hebrew word for blood (dam) sounds like the name of the city of Dimon. Dimon may be a pun on the name Dibon, the capital city of Moab.

but I will bring still more upon Dimon[b]—
a lion(C) upon the fugitives of Moab(D)
and upon those who remain in the land.
