Numbers 21:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷^[a]This is why those who speak in proverbs say,

“Come to Heshbon, let it be built.
    Let Sihon’s city be restored.
²⁸For fire went out from Heshbon,
    a flame from the city of Sihon.
It devoured Ar of Moab,
    the lords of the heights of the Arnon.
²⁹Woe to you, Moab.
    You have perished, O people of Chemosh.^[b]
He has given up his sons as fugitives,
    his daughters as captives to Sihon,
    the king of the Amorites.
