For fire came out from Heshbon,

flame from the city of Sihon.

It devoured Ar of Moab,

He has made his sons fugitives,

and his daughters captives,

to an Amorite king, Sihon.

and his daughters into captivity

to Sihon the Amorite king.

a blaze from the city of Sihon.

It burned the city of Ar in Moab;

You are finished, O worshipers of Chemosh!

Chemosh has left his sons as refugees,

his daughters as captives of Sihon, the Amorite king.

He has given his sons as fugitives,

and his daughters into captivity,

to the king of the Amorites, Sihon.

For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon,

A flame from the city of Sihon:

It hath consumed Ar of Moab,

And the lords of the high places of Arnon.

Woe to thee, Moab!

Thou art undone, O people of Chemosh:

He hath given his sons that escaped,

And his daughters, into captivity

Unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
