18. Descend from your glory, and sit in thirst, O habitation of the daughter of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has ascended to you; he has dissipated your fortifications.
19. Stand in the way, and gaze out, O habitation of Aroer! Question him who is fleeing, and say to him who has escaped: 'What has happened?'
20. Moab has been confounded, because he has been conquered. Wail and cry out! Announce it in Arnon: Moab has been devastated,
21. and judgment has arrived upon the land of the plains: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,
22. and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,
23. and upon Kiriathaim, and upon the house of Gamul, and upon the house of Meon,
24. and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, those far away and those nearby.
25. The horn of Moab has been cut away, and his arm has been crushed, says the Lord.
26. Inebriate him, for he has lifted himself up against the Lord. And Moab will thrust his hand into his own vomit, and also now he himself will become a derision.
