“WoeH1945 toH413 NeboH5015,forH3588 it will be devastatedH7703.KiriathaimH7156 will be capturedH3920 and disgracedH954;the fortressH4869 will be shatteredH2865 and dismantledH954.2There is noH369 longerH5750 praiseH8416 for MoabH4124;in HeshbonH2809 1 they deviseH2803 evilH7451 against herH5921:‘ComeH1980, let us cut her offH3772 from nationhoodH1471.’

You tooH1571, O people of MadmenH4086,2 will be silencedH1826;the swordH2719 will pursueH310 youH1980.3A voiceH6963 cries outH6818 from HoronaimH2773:‘DevastationH7701 and greatH1419 destructionH7667!’4MoabH4124 H8085 will be shatteredH7665;her littleH6810 ones will cry outH2201.3
