15 Moab has been destroyed and [a]men have gone up to [b]his cities;
His choicest [c](A)young men have also gone down to the slaughter,”
Declares the (B)King, whose name is the Lord of armies.
16 “The disaster of Moab will (C)soon come,
And his catastrophe has hurried quickly.
17 Mourn for him, all you who live around him,
And all of you who know his name;
Say, ‘How the mighty [d](D)scepter has been broken,
A staff of splendor!’
