Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.

The verse 18 is found in chapter 48 of Jeremiah. Moab is condemned for its pride, confidence in wealth, and territorial security. The repeated language of mourning and destruction reveals a nation that will be humiliated after considering itself invulnerable. Judgment reaches cities, fortresses, and religious symbols, showing that no cultural structure can protect against the divine sentence.

Herab von der Herrlichkeit, du Einwohnerin, Tochter Dibon, und sitze in der Dürre! Denn der Verstörer Moabs wird zu dir hinaufkommen und deine Festen zerreißen.
Desciende de la gloria, siéntate en seco, moradora hija de Dibón; porque el destruidor de Moab subió contra ti, disipó tus fortalezas.
Baja de tu gloria y siéntate en tierra reseca, hija que habitas en Dibón, porque el devastador de Moab ha subido contra ti y ha destruido tus fortalezas.
Descends du séjour de la gloire, assieds-toi sur la terre desséchée, Habitante, fille de Dibon! Car le dévastateur de Moab monte contre toi, Il détruit tes forteresses.
O figliuola abitatrice di Dibon, scendi del seggio di gloria, e siedi in luogo arido; perciocchè il guastatore di Moab è salito contro a te, egli ha disfatte le tue fortezze.
Desce da tua glória, e assenta-te em terra seca, ó moradora, filha de Dibom; porque o destruidor de Moabe subiu contra ti, e desfez as tuas fortalezas.
底本 的居民哪, 要從你榮耀的座位上下來, 坐著忍受乾渴; 因毀滅 摩押 的人上來攻擊你, 毀壞了你的堡壘。
