27 Therefore those who use proverbs say,
“Come to Heshbon! Let it be built!
So let the city of Sihon be established.
28 aFor a fire went forth from Heshbon,
A flame from the town of Sihon;
It devoured bAr of Moab,
The cdominant heights of the Arnon.
29 aWoe to you, O Moab!
You perish, O people of bChemosh!
cHe has given his sons as fugitives,
dAnd his daughters into captivity,
To an Amorite king, Sihon.
30 But we have cast them down,
Heshbon perishes as far as aDibon,
And we have made desolate even to Nophah,
Which reaches to Medeba.”
