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 scepter
    and magnificent staff are shattered!

18 Come down from your lofty place
        and sit in the dust,[a]
    you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon;[b]
        because Moab’s destroyer
        has arrived to level your fortresses.
