⁴ Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.

²⁷ therefore those using similes say -- `Enter ye Heshbon, Let the city of Sihon be built and ready,

²⁸ For fire hath gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon, It hath consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high places of Arnon.

²⁹ Wo to thee, O Moab, Thou hast perished, O people of Chemosh, He hath given his sons who escape -- Also his daughters -- Into captivity, to a king of the Amorite -- Sihon!

³⁰ And we shoot them, Perished hath Heshbon unto Dibon, And we make desolate unto Nophah, Which `is' unto Medeba.'

¹¹ that the king hath given to the Jews who `are' in every city and city, to be assembled, and to stand for their life, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy the whole force of the people and province who are distressing them, infants and women, and their spoil to seize.

⁹ O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!
