16The calamityH343 of MoabH4124 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and his afflictionH7451 hastethH4116 fastH3966.
17All ye that are aboutH5439 him, bemoanH5110 him; and all ye that knowH3045 his nameH8034, sayH559, How is the strongH5797 staffH4294 brokenH7665, and the beautifulH8597 rodH4731!
18Thou daughterH1323 that dost inhabitH3427 DibonH1769, come downH3381 from thy gloryH3519, and sitH3427 in thirstH6772; for the spoilerH7703 of MoabH4124 shall comeH5927 upon thee, and he shall destroyH7843 thy strong holdsH4013.
19O inhabitantH3427 of AroerH6177, standH5975 by the wayH1870, and espyH6822; askH7592 him that fleethH5127, and her that escapethH4422, and sayH559, What is doneH1961?1
20MoabH4124 is confoundedH3001; for it is broken downH2865: howlH3213 and cryH2199; tellH5046 ye it in ArnonH769, that MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703,
21And judgmentH4941 is comeH935 upon the plainH4334 countryH776; upon HolonH2473, and upon JahazahH3096, and upon MephaathH4158,
22And upon DibonH1769, and upon NeboH5015, and upon Beth–diblathaimH1015,
23And upon KiriathaimH7156, and upon Beth–gamulH1014, and upon Beth–meonH1010,
24And upon KeriothH7152, and upon BozrahH1224, and upon all the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 or nearH7138.
25The hornH7161 of MoabH4124 is cut offH1438, and his armH2220 is brokenH7665, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.
