Numbers 21:28-35 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

28. A fire has gone forth from Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon, and it has devoured Ar of the Moabites, and the inhabitants of the heights of Arnon.

29. Woe to you, Moab! You are perishing, O people of Chemosh. He gave flight to his sons, and he gave the daughters into captivity, to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.

30. Their yoke has been scattered from Heshbon even to Dibon. They have passed through, wearily, into Nophah, and as far as Medeba."

31. And so Israel lived in the land of the Amorite.

32. And Moses sent some to explore Jazer. These captured its villages and possessed its inhabitants.

33. And they turned themselves and ascended, along the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, met them with all his people, to fight at Edrei.

34. And the Lord said to Moses: "Do not be afraid of him. For I have delivered him, and all his people, as well as his land, into your hand. And you shall do to him just as you did to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, the inhabitant of Heshbon."

35. Therefore, they struck him down also, with his sons, and all his people, even to utter destruction, and they possessed his land.
