²⁸ “Fire went out from Heshbon,
    a blaze from the city of Sihon.^(A)
It consumed^(B) Ar^(C) of Moab,
    the citizens of Arnon’s heights.^(D)

³⁰ “But we have overthrown them;
    Heshbon’s dominion has been destroyed all the way to Dibon.^(A)
We have demolished them as far as Nophah,
    which extends to Medeba.^(B)”

Ar^(D) in Moab is ruined,^(E)
    destroyed in a night!
Kir^(F) in Moab is ruined,
    destroyed in a night!
² Dibon^(G) goes up to its temple,
    to its high places^(H) to weep;
    Moab wails^(I) over Nebo^(J) and Medeba.
Every head is shaved^(K)
    and every beard cut off.^(L)
3 In the streets they wear sackcloth;^(M)
    on the roofs^(N) and in the public squares^(O)
they all wail,^(P)
    prostrate with weeping.^(Q)
4 Heshbon^(R) and Elealeh^(S) cry out,
    their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.^(T)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
    and their hearts are faint.

²¹ Judgment has come to the plateau^(A)—
    to Holon,^(B) Jahzah^(C) and Mephaath,^(D)
22     to Dibon,^(E) Nebo^(F) and Beth Diblathaim,
²³     to Kiriathaim,^(G) Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,^(H)
24     to Kerioth^(I) and Bozrah^(J)—
    to all the towns^(K) of Moab, far and near.
