Isaiah 15:7-9
New Century Version
7 So the people gather up what they have saved
and carry it across the Ravine of the Poplars.
8 Crying is heard everywhere in Moab.
Their crying is heard as far away as the city Eglaim;
it is heard as far away as Beer Elim.
9 The 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.
Isaiah 15:7-9
New International Version
7 So the wealth they have acquired(A) and stored up
they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
8 Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
their lamentation as far as Beer(B) Elim.
9 The waters of Dimon[a] are full of blood,
but I will bring still more upon Dimon[b]—
a lion(C) upon the fugitives of Moab(D)
and upon those who remain in the land.
