²¹ And punishment has come on the lowlands; on Holon and Jahzah, and on Mephaath,

¹⁸ And Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath;

⁴ Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.

²³ And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.

⁸ And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.

³⁶ And from the tribe of Reuben, Bezer and Jahaz with their grass-lands;

³⁷ Kedemoth and Mephaath with their grass-lands, four towns.

⁹ For this cause, I will let the side of Moab be uncovered, and his towns on every side, the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and as far as Kiriathaim.

⁹ For this cause, by my life, says the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, truly Moab will become like Sodom and the children of Ammon like Gomorrah, given up to waste plants and salt pools and unpeopled for ever: the rest of my people will take their property, the overflow of my nation will take their heritage.
