5. For on the Ascent to Luhiththey will be weeping continually, and on the descent to Horonaimwill be heard cries of distress over the destruction:
6. Flee! Save your lives! Be like a juniper bush in the wilderness.
7. Because you trust in your works and treasures,you will be captured also.Chemosh will go into exilewith his priests and officials.
8. The destroyer will move against every town;not one town will escape.The valley will perish,and the plain will be annihilated, as the Lord has said.
9. Make Moab a salt marsh, for she will run away; her towns will become a desolation,without inhabitant.
10. The one who doesthe Lord’s business deceitfully is cursed, and the one who withholdshis sword from bloodshed is cursed.
