¹⁸ As I live—
this is the King’s declaration;
the Lord of Armies is his name^(A)—
the king of Babylon^[a] will come like Tabor among the mountains
and like Carmel by the sea.

¹⁵ The destroyer of Moab and its towns
has come up,^[a]
and the best of its young men
have gone down to slaughter.
This is the King’s declaration;
the Lord of Armies is his name.^(A)
