You can hear crying everywhere in Moab—
    as far away as Eglaim and Beer Elim.
The water of Dimon[a] is full of blood,

    but I will send lions to eat them.

  1. Isaiah 15:9 Dimon This is probably the city of Dibon. Dimon is like the Hebrew word meaning “blood.”

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

    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.
