2 People will no longer praise Moab.The people in Heshbon will plan Moab’s destruction.“Let’s destroy that nation!”You will be silenced, city of Madmen.Death will come after you.
3 People will cry out from Horonaim, “Looting and great destruction!”
4 Moab will be broken.Its little ones will cry out.
5 People go up the pass of Luhith, crying bitterly as they go.On the road down to Horonaim they have heardthe distressful cry of destruction.
6 “Run away! Run for your lives!Run like a wild donkey in the desert.”
7 Since you trust the things you do and your treasures,you will be captured.Chemosh will go into captivity with all its priests and officials.
8 The destroyer will come to every city, and no city will escape.The valley will be destroyed, and the plain will be laid wasteas the Lord has threatened.
