14. How say ye, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?
15. Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into her cities; and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

17. All ye that are round about him, bemoan him, and all ye that know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!

20. Moab is put to shame; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
