^18 (A)“Come down from your glory,
    and sit on the parched ground,
    O inhabitant of ^(B)Dibon!
For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you;
    he has destroyed your strongholds.

³⁰ So we overthrew them;
    Heshbon, as far as ^(A)Dibon, perished;
    and we laid waste as far as Nophah;
    fire spread as far as ^(B)Medeba.”^[a]

² He has gone up to the temple,^[a] and to ^(A)Dibon,
    to the high places^[b] to weep;
over ^(B)Nebo and over ^(C)Medeba
    Moab ^(D)wails.
On every head is ^(E)baldness;
    every beard is shorn;
