13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.

15 Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
16 Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.
