Therefore the abundance they have gained
    and what they have laid up
they carry away
    over the Wadi of the Willows.(A)
For a cry has gone
    around the land of Moab;
the wailing reaches to Eglaim;
    the wailing reaches to Beer-elim.
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)

So the wealth they have acquired(A) and stored up
    they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
    their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
    their lamentation as far as Beer(B) Elim.
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.
