Now he had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all of his land from his control, as far as the Arnon. ²⁷That is why those who speak in proverbs say,“Come to Heshbon, let it be built.Let the city of Sihon be established! ²⁸For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon.It has consumed Ar of Moaband the lords of the high places of Arnon. ²⁹Woe to you, Moab.You are ruined, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives,and his daughters the prisoners of King Sihon of the Amorites. ³⁰We have overpowered them;Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon.We have shattered them as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.”
