«¡Lamenta, Hesbón, porque Hai ha sido destruida! ¡Clamen, hijas de Rabá! Vístanse de cilicio. Lloren y anden de un lado a otro entre los valladares; porque Milcom irá al cautiverio, sus sacerdotes y sus príncipes juntos.
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, {and} his priests and his princes together. {their king: or, Melcom}
