14. How can you claim,"We’re soldiers; we’re war heroes"?
15. Moab is doomed;its towns will surrender;its elite forces will go down in defeat,declares the king whose name is the Lord of heavenly forces.
16. Moab’s destruction is near;its downfall approaches rapidly.
17. Grieve for this nation,you neighbors of Moab,all you who know his name.Proclaim how its mighty scepterand magnificent staff are shattered!
18. Come down from your lofty placeand sit in the dust,you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon;because Moab’s destroyerhas arrived to level your fortresses.
