27 Therefore those who speak in [a]proverbs say:

“Come to Heshbon, let it be built;
Let the city of Sihon be repaired.

28 “For (A)fire went out from Heshbon,
A flame from the city of Sihon;
It consumed (B)Ar of Moab,
The lords of the (C)heights of the Arnon.
29 Woe to you, (D)Moab!
You have perished, O people of (E)Chemosh!
He has given his (F)sons as fugitives,
And his (G)daughters into captivity,
To Sihon king of the Amorites.
