    flames from the city of Sihon;
Burning up Ar of Moab,
    the natives of Arnon’s heights.
Doom, Moab!
    The people of Chemosh, done for!
Sons turned out as fugitives, daughters abandoned as captives
    to the king of the Amorites, to Sihon.

    Nothing left of Heshbon as far as Dibon;
Devastation as far off as Nophah,
    scorched earth all the way to Medeba.
