They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.

How is it broken down. "It" - i:e., Moab.

How ... how - prodigious, yet sure to happen.

How hath Moab turned the back - not daring to show her face.

So shall Moab be a derision, and a dismaying to all - a derision to some, a dismaying to others, in beholding such a judgment of God, fearing a like fate for themselves.
