Isaiah 15:8-9
Contemporary English Version

8 In the towns of Eglaim
    and of Beerelim
and everywhere else in Moab
    mournful cries are heard.
9 The streams near Dimon
    are flowing with blood.
But the Lord will bring
    even worse trouble to Dimon,[a]
because all in Moab who escape
    will be attacked by lions.[b]

8 Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
    their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
    their lamentation as far as Beer(A) Elim.
9 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.
