15:1 Here is a message about Moab:
Indeed, in a night it is devastated,
Ar of Moab is destroyed!
Indeed, in a night it is devastated,
Kir of Moab is destroyed!
25:10 For the Lord’s power will make this mountain secure. 1
Moab will be trampled down where it stands, 2
as a heap of straw is trampled down in 3 a manure pile.
