For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab;
the howling thereof unto Eglaim,
and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.
For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood:
for I will bring more upon Dimon,
lions upon him that escapeth of Moab,
and upon the remnant of the land.

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.
