13. Chemosh shall disappoint Moab, just as the house of Israel was disappointed by Bethel, in which they trusted.
14. How can you say, “We are heroes,mighty warriors”?
15. The one who ravages Moab and its cities comes up,the best of its youth go down to slaughter—oracle of the King, whose name is Lord of hosts.
16. Moab’s ruin is near at hand,its disaster approaches swiftly.
17. Mourn, all you neighbors,all you who know its name!Say: How the mighty scepter is broken,the glorious staff!
18. Come down from glory, sit on the parched ground,enthroned daughter Dibon;Moab’s destroyer has fallen upon you,has shattered your strongholds.
