18 You people who live in Dibon must stop being proud.
Come down from the places where people give you honour.
Sit on the ground in the dirt.
Moab's cruel enemy has arrived.
They will cause your strong buildings to become heaps of stones.
19 You people who live in Aroer,
stand beside the road and watch.
Ask the people who are running away what has happened.
20 They will reply, “The enemy has won against Moab
and its people are ashamed.
So weep and cry out!
Stand beside the Arnon river and tell the news.
Tell people that the enemy has destroyed Moab.”

18 “Come down from your glory
    and sit on the parched ground,(A)
    you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon,(B)
for the one who destroys Moab
    will come up against you
    and ruin your fortified cities.(C)
19 Stand by the road and watch,
    you who live in Aroer.(D)
Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping,
    ask them, ‘What has happened?’
20 Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered.
    Wail(E) and cry out!
Announce by the Arnon(F)
    that Moab is destroyed.
