2 the renown of Moab is no more.In Heshbon they planned disaster against her:‘Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!’You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence;the sword shall pursue you.
3 “A voice! A cry from Horonaim,‘Desolation and great destruction!’
4 Moab is destroyed;her little ones have made a cry.
5 For at the ascent of Luhiththey go up weeping;for at the descent of Horonaimthey have heard the distressed cry of destruction.
6 Flee! Save yourselves!You will be like a juniper in the desert!
7 For, because you trusted in your works and your treasures,you also shall be taken;and Chemosh shall go into exilewith his priests and his officials.
8 The destroyer shall come upon every city,and no city shall escape;the valley shall perish,and the plain shall be destroyed,as the Lord has spoken.
