²¹ And judgment hath come in unto the land of the plain -- unto Holon, And unto Jahazah, and on Mephaath,

¹⁸ and Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

⁴ And cry doth Heshbon and Elealeh, Unto Jahaz heard hath been their voice, Therefore the armed ones of Moab do shout, His life hath been grievous to him.

²³ And Sihon hath not suffered Israel to pass through his border, and Sihon gathereth all his people, and cometh out to meet Israel into the wilderness, and cometh in to Jahaz, and fighteth against Israel.

⁸ And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah said.

³⁶ And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer and its suburbs, and Jahazah and its suburbs,

³⁷ Kedemoth and its suburbs, and Mephaath and its suburbs -- four cities.

⁹ Therefore, lo, I am opening the shoulder of Moab -- From the cities -- from his cities -- from his frontier, The beauty of the land, Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim,

⁹ Therefore, I live, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Surely, Moab is as Sodom, And the sons of Ammon as Gomorrah, An overrunning of nettles and salt-pits, And a desolation -- unto the age. A residue of My people do seize them, And a remnant of My nation inherit them.
