⁴⁵ “In the shadow of Heshbon
    fugitives stop without strength,
for fire came out from Heshbon,
    flame from the house of Sihon;
it has destroyed ^(A)the forehead of Moab,
    the crown of ^(B)the sons of tumult.

³ “Wail, O ^(A)Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste!
    Cry out, O daughters of ^(B)Rabbah!
^(C)Put on sackcloth,
    lament, and run to and fro among the hedges!
For ^(D)Milcom shall go into exile,
    ^(E)with his priests and his officials.

^4 (A)Heshbon and ^(B)Elealeh cry out;
    their voice is heard as far as ^(C)Jahaz;
therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
    his soul trembles.
