Isaiah 15:8

MoabBeer-elimEglaimMoab

6 The waters of Nimrim are dried up, and the grass is withered; the vegetation is gone, and the greenery is no more.

7 So they carry their wealth and belongings over the Brook of the Willows.

For their outcry echoes to the border of Moab. Their wailing reaches Eglaim; it is heard in Beer-elim.

9 The waters of Dimon are full of blood, but I will bring more upon Dimon— a lion upon the fugitives of Moab and upon the remnant of the land.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
