Isaiah 15:9

Isaiah 15:9

7 Therefore the abundance they have gained,
And what they have laid up,
They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.

8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Moab,
Its wailing to Eglaim
And its wailing to Beer Elim.

9 For the waters of¹ Dimon will be full of blood;
Because I will bring more upon Dimon,
^aLions upon him who escapes from Moab,
And on the remnant of the land.”

<< Isaiah 15:8

Isaiah 16:1 >>

Dimon—same as Dibon (Isaiah 15:2). Its waters are the Arnon.

full of blood—The slain of Moab shall be so many.

bring more—fresh calamities, namely, the "lions" afterwards mentioned (II Kings 17:25; Jeremiah 5:6; Jeremiah 15:3). VITRINGA understands Nebuchadnezzar as meant by "the lion"; but it is plural, "lions." The "more," or in Hebrew, "additions," he explains of the addition made to the waters of Dimon by the streams of blood of the slain.
