13. Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh,as the house of Israel was ashamedof Bethel, their confidence.
14. How do you say, “We are mightyand strong men for the war”?
15. Moab has been devastated and gone up out of her cities,and her chosen young men have also gone down to the slaughter,says the King whose name is the Lord of Hosts.
16. The calamity of Moab will come soon,and his affliction hastens fast.
17. All you who are about him, mourn for him.And all you who know his name,say, “How the strong staff has been broken,the beautiful rod!”
