For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
The waters of Dimon will be filled with blood, but I will bring even more disaster upon Dimon. I will send lions to attack those who try to escape from Moab and those who remain in the land.
God is declaring that severe judgment will come upon Moab, with disaster so complete that even those who try to flee will face further destruction.
📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of Isaiah's prophecy against Moab, a nation east of the Dead Sea that was often in conflict with Israel. The Moabites were descendants of Lot and had a complex relationship with Israel - sometimes allies, sometimes enemies. This judgment likely refers to the Assyrian or Babylonian invasions that would devastate the region in the 8th-6th centuries BC.
