¹⁷ “I see him, but not now;
    I behold him, but not near.^(A)
A star will come out of Jacob;^(B)
    a scepter will rise out of Israel.^(C)
He will crush the foreheads of Moab,^(D)
    the skulls^[a](E) of^[b] all the people of Sheth.^[c]

⁸ Moab is my washbasin,
    on Edom I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.^(A)”

¹⁰ The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain;^(A)
    but Moab^(B) will be trampled in their land
    as straw is trampled down in the manure.

⁴⁶ Woe to you, Moab!^(A)
    The people of Chemosh are destroyed;
your sons are taken into exile
    and your daughters into captivity.
