²⁸ “Fire went out from Heshbon,
    a blaze from the city of Sihon.^(A)
It consumed^(B) Ar^(C) of Moab,
    the citizens of Arnon’s heights.^(D)

     ¹⁵ and^[a] the slopes of the ravines
that lead to the settlement of Ar^(A)
    and lie along the border of Moab.”

⁴⁵ “In the shadow of Heshbon
    the fugitives stand helpless,
for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
    a blaze from the midst of Sihon;^(A)
it burns the foreheads of Moab,
    the skulls^(B) of the noisy boasters.
⁴⁶ Woe to you, Moab!^(C)
    The people of Chemosh are destroyed;
your sons are taken into exile
    and your daughters into captivity.

⁵ I will send fire^(A) on Judah
    that will consume the fortresses^(B) of Jerusalem.^(C)”
