Isaiah 15:7-9

15:7 For this reason what they have made and stored up,

they carry over the Stream of the Poplars.

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

their wailing can be heard in Eglaim and Beer Elim. ¹ 

15:9 Indeed, the waters of Dimon ²  are full of blood!

Indeed, I will heap even more trouble on Dimon. ³ 

A lion will attack ⁴  the Moabite fugitives

and the people left in the land.

[15:8]  ¹ tn Heb “to Eglaim [is] her wailing, and [to] Beer Elim [is] her wailing.”

[15:9]  ² tc The Qumran scroll 1QIsa^a reads “Dibon” instead of “Dimon” in this verse.

[15:9]  ³ tn Heb “Indeed I will place on Dimon added things.” Apparently the Lord is speaking.

[15:9]  ⁴ tn The words “will attack” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
