  • Kupsabiny: “The goodness of Moab has been torn down.
    Enemies have taken Heshbon
    and they are making plans to take over Moab.
    They will silence the city of Madmen,
    soldiers shall break through and fight against it.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Moab will no longer be praised. There in Heshbon, the enemy is planning to attack Moab. They say, ‘Come, let us destroy Moab.’ The town of Madmen, will- also -be-attacked by the enemies and it will-become desolate/lonely.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “No one will boast about Moab again;
    the enemies of Moab will plan to destroy the capital city, Heshbon.
    They will say, ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’
    You people in Madmen town, you also will be silenced;
    enemy armies will pursue you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
