for a fire has gone out of Heshbon,

a flame from the city of Sihon.

It has devoured Ar of Moab,

The lords of the high places of the Arnon.

Woe to you, Moab!

You are undone, people of Chemosh!

He has given his sons as fugitives,

Heshbon has perished even to Dibon.

We have laid waste even to Nophah,

Which reaches to Medeba.”
