Isaiah 15:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 So now whatever they have acquired or stored away
they carry across the Wadi of the Poplars.
8 The cry has gone round
the territory of Moab;
As far as Eglaim his wailing,
even at Beer-elim his wailing.
9 [a]The waters of Dimon are filled with blood,
but I will bring still more upon Dimon:
Lions for those who are fleeing from Moab
and for those who remain in the land!
Footnotes
- 15:9 There is a play on words between “Dimon” and dam, the Hebrew word for blood.
