Isaiah 15:8-9

International Children’s Bible

⁸Crying is heard everywhere in Moab.
    Their crying is heard as far away as the city Eglaim.
    Their crying is heard as far away as Beer Elim.
⁹The water of the city Dibon is full of blood.
    And I, the Lord, will bring even more troubles to Dibon.
A few people living in Moab have escaped the enemy.
    But I will send lions to kill them.
