Isaiah 15:8-9

15:8 Indeed, the cries of distress echo throughout Moabite territory;

their wailing can be heard in Eglaim and Beer Elim.

15:9 Indeed, the waters of Dimon are full of blood!

Indeed, I will heap even more trouble on Dimon.

A lion will attack the Moabite fugitives

and the people left in the land.


tn Heb “to Eglaim [is] her wailing, and [to] Beer Elim [is] her wailing.”

tc The Qumran scroll 1QIsaa reads “Dibon” instead of “Dimon” in this verse.

tn Heb “Indeed I will place on Dimon added things.” Apparently the Lord is speaking.

tn The words “will attack” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
