For gone round hath the cry the border of Moab, Unto Eglaim [is] its howling, And to Beer-Elim [is] its howling.

    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.

    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.
