7 You thought you could be savedby your power and wealth,but you will be capturedalong with your god Chemosh,his priests, and officials.
8 Not one of your townswill escape destruction.I have told your enemies,“Wipe out the valleyand the flat lands of Moab.
9 Spread salt on the groundto kill the crops.Leave its towns in ruins,with no one living there.
10 I want you to kill the Moabites,and if you let them escape,I will put a curse on you.”
11 Moab, you are like wineleft to settle undisturbed,never poured from jar to jar.And so, your nation continuesto prosper and improve.
12 But now, I will send enemiesto pour out the wineand smash the jars!
13 Then you will be ashamed,because your god Chemoshcannot save you,just as Bethel could not helpthe Israelites.
