¹⁵ The destroyer of Moab and its towns
has come up,^[a]
and the best of its young men
have gone down to slaughter.
This is the King’s declaration;
the Lord of Armies is his name.^(A)

¹⁸ Come down from glory; sit on parched ground,
resident of the daughter of Dibon,^(A)
for the destroyer of Moab has come against you;
he has destroyed your fortresses.

³² I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah,
with more than the weeping for Jazer.
Your tendrils have extended to the sea;
they have reached to the sea and to Jazer.^[a]
The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
