Berean Standard Bible

Isaiah 15:5-9

5My heart cries out over Moab; her fugitives flee as far as Zoar, as far as Eglath-shelishiyah.1 With weeping they ascend the slope of Luhith; they lament their destruction on the road to Horonaim.6The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.7So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows.2

8For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab.Their wailing reaches Eglaim;it is heard in Beer-elim.9The waters of Dimon3 are full of blood,but I will bring more upon Dimon—a lion upon the fugitives of Moaband upon the remnant of the land.

3. Isaiah 15:9 MT, twice in this verse; DSS and Vulgate Dibon; Dimon, a wordplay on Dibon (see verse 2), sounds like the Hebrew for blood. ↩
