² A dire^(A) vision has been shown to me:
    The traitor betrays,^(B) the looter takes loot.
Elam,^(C) attack! Media,^(D) lay siege!
    I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.

¹⁶ “See, it is I who created the blacksmith^(A)
    who fans the coals into flame
    and forges a weapon^(B) fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer^(C) to wreak havoc;

⁸ The destroyer^(A) will come against every town,
    and not a town will escape.
The valley will be ruined
    and the plateau^(B) destroyed,
    because the Lord has spoken.

¹⁵ Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded;
    her finest young men^(A) will go down in the slaughter,^(B)”
    declares the King,^(C) whose name is the Lord Almighty.^(D)

¹⁸ “Come down from your glory
    and sit on the parched ground,^(A)
    you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon,^(B)
for the one who destroys Moab
    will come up against you
    and ruin your fortified cities.^(C)

³² I weep for you, as Jazer^(A) weeps,
    you vines of Sibmah.^(B)
Your branches spread as far as the sea^[a];
    they reached as far as^[b] Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen
    on your ripened fruit and grapes.
