18 “O daughter inhabiting Dibon,Come down from your glory,And sit in thirst;For the plunderer of Moab has come against you,He has destroyed your strongholds.
19 O inhabitant of Aroer,Stand by the way and watch;Ask him who fleesAnd her who escapes;Say, ‘What has happened?’
20 Moab is shamed, for he is broken down.Wail and cry!Tell it in Arnon, that Moab is plundered.
21 “And judgment has come on the plain country:On Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath,
22 On Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,
23 On Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,
