14¶ How say yee, We are mightie and strong men for the warre? 15Moab is spoiled and gone vp out of her cities, and his chosen yong men are gone downe to the slaughter, sayth the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes. 16The calamitie of Moab is neere to come, and his affliction hasteth fast. 17All yee that are about him bemoane him, and all yee that know his Name, say, How is the strong staffe broken, and the beautifull rod! 18Thou daughter that doest inhabit Dibon, come downe from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come vpon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holdes.
