Jeremiah 48:1-5
The LORD God of Israel who rules over all spoke about Moab.“ Sure to be judged is Nebo! Indeed, it will be destroyed! Kiriathaim will suffer disgrace. It will be captured! Its fortress will suffer disgrace. It will be torn down!People will not praise Moab any more. The enemy will capture Heshbon and plot how to destroy Moab, saying,‘ Come, let’s put an end to that nation!’ City of Madmen, you will also be destroyed. A destructive army will march against you.Cries of anguish will arise in Horonaim,‘ Oh, the ruin and great destruction!’“ Moab will be crushed. Her children will cry out in distress.Indeed they will climb the slopes of Luhith, weeping continually as they go. For on the road down to Horonaim they will hear the cries of distress over the destruction.

Isaiah 15:1-5
Here is a message about Moab: Indeed, in a night it is devastated, Ar of Moab is destroyed! Indeed, in a night it is devastated, Kir of Moab is destroyed!They went up to the temple, the people of Dibon went up to the high places to lament. Because of what happened to Nebo and Medeba, Moab wails. Every head is shaved bare, every beard is trimmed off.In their streets they wear sackcloth; on their roofs and in their town squares all of them wail, they fall down weeping.The people of Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz. For this reason Moab’s soldiers shout in distress; their courage wavers.My heart cries out because of Moab’s plight, and for the fugitives stretched out as far as Zoar and Eglath Shelishiyah. For they weep as they make their way up the ascent of Luhith; they loudly lament their demise on the road to Horonaim.

Isaiah 16:7-11
So Moab wails over its demise– they all wail! Completely devastated, they moan about what has happened to the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.For the fields of Heshbon are dried up, as well as the vines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations trample all over its vines, which reach Jazer and spread to the desert; their shoots spread out and cross the sea.So I weep along with Jazer over the vines of Sibmah. I will saturate you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh, for the conquering invaders shout triumphantly over your fruit and crops.Joy and happiness disappear from the orchards, and in the vineyards no one rejoices or shouts; no one treads out juice in the wine vats– I have brought the joyful shouts to an end.So my heart constantly sighs for Moab, like the strumming of a harp, my inner being sighs for Kir Hareseth.

Numbers 21:26-28
For Heshbon was the city of King Sihon of the Amorites. Now he had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all of his land from his control, as far as the Arnon.That is why those who speak in proverbs say,“ Come to Heshbon, let it be built. Let the city of Sihon be established!For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It has consumed Ar of Moab and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
