16The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17All you who are round about him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!
18You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab is come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.
19Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, What has been done?
20Moab is put to shame; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell you it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21Judgment is come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
22and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,
