Exegesis
Parallel prepositional phrases liphlēṭāṯ Môʾāv {לִפְלֵיטַת מוֹאָב | liph-lê-ṭāṯ mô-ʾā-v} ‘for those who escape from Moab’ and wə-lišērît ʾădāmāh {וְלִשְׁאֵרִית אֲדָמָה | wə-li-šê-rîṯ ʾă-dā-māh} ‘and for the remnant of the land’ specify the groups subject to judgment, while the noun ʾăryēh {אַרְיֵה | ʾăr-yē(h)} ‘lion’ personifies divine retribution. The Hebrew parallelism and escalation underscore the intensity of the pronouncement.
In context — Isaiah 15:9
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, yet I will bring more upon Dimon: a lion upon those who escape from Moab and upon the remnant of the land.
