A (15) Moab is spoiled, and GONE UP <05927> out of her cities,

B (15) and his chosen young men are GONE DOWN <03381> to the slaughter,

C (15) saith the King, whose NAME is Yahweh of hosts.

D (16) The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.

C′ (17) All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his NAME, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!

B′ (18) Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, COME DOWN <03381> from thy glory,

A′ (18) and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab SHALL COME <05927> upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.
