13. Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel were ashamed of Bethel, their trust.
14. How can you say, ‘we are warriors, and men of might for the battle.’
15. Moab is destroyed, and his towns have gone up, and the choice of his young men have gone down to the slaughtering,” declares the King, Yahweh of hosts is his name.
16. “The disaster of Moab is near to come, and his disaster approaches very quickly.
17. Mourn for him, all his surroundings, and all those who knew his name. Say, ‘How the staff of might is broken, the staff of glory.’
18. Come down from glory and sit on the parched ground, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your fortifications.
19. Stand by the road and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer. Ask the man who is fleeing and the woman who is escaping, say, ‘What has happened?’
20. Moab is ashamed, for it is filled with terror. Wail and cry out, tell it by Arnon that Moab is devastated.
21. Judgment has also come to the land of the plain, to Holon, and to Jahaz, and on Mephaath,
22. and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,
23. and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,
24. and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, the far and the near.
25. The horn of Moab is cut off and his arm is broken,” declares Yahweh.
