16 It won't be long now—disaster will hit Moab!
17 I will order the nearby nationsto mourn for you and say,“Isn't it sad? Moab ruled others,but now its glorious powerhas been shattered.”
18 People in the town of Dibon,you will be honored no more,so have a seat in the dust.Your walls will be torn downwhen the enemies attack.
19 You people of Aroer,go wait beside the road,and when refugees run by,ask them, “What happened?”
20 They will answer,“Moab has been defeated!Weep with us in shame.Tell everyone at the Arnon Riverthat Moab is destroyed.”
21 I will punish every townthat belongs to Moab,but especially Holon,Jahzah, Mephaath,
22 Dibon, Nebo,Beth-Diblathaim,
