17. All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!
18. Come down from thy glory and sit in the drought, O inhabitress, daughter of Dibon; the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, thy strongholds hath he destroyed.
19. Stand by the way, and watch, inhabitress of Aroer; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What is done?
20. Moab is put to shame; for he is broken down: howl and cry; tell it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21. And judgment is come upon the country of the plateau; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;
22. and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;
23. and upon Kirjathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;
24. and upon Kerijoth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.
25. The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith Jehovah.
26. Make him drunken, for he magnified himself against Jehovah; and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27. For was not Israel a derision unto thee? Was he found among thieves, that as oft as thou didst speak of him, thou didst shake the head?
