Isaiah 15:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Therefore the abundance they have gained
and what they have laid up
they carry away
over the Wadi of the Willows.(A)
8 For a cry has gone
around the land of Moab;
the wailing reaches to Eglaim;
the wailing reaches to Beer-elim.
9 For the waters of Dibon[a] are full of blood,
yet I will bring upon Dibon[b] even more—
a lion for those of Moab who escape,
for the remnant of the land.(B)
Isaiah 15:7-9
New International Version
7 So the wealth they have acquired(A) and stored up
they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
8 Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
their lamentation as far as Beer(B) Elim.
9 The waters of Dimon[a] are full of blood,
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.
