3 A sound of crying will be from Horonaim:“Devastation and great destruction!”
4 “Moab is destroyed”;her little ones have caused a cry of distress to be heard;
5 for by the Ascent of Luhith they will go upwith continual weeping;for at the descent of Horonaimthey have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Flee, save your lives,and be like the juniper in the wilderness.
7 For because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures,you will also be captured;and Chemosh shall go forth into captivitytogether with his priests and his officials.
8 The destroyer will come upon every city,and no city will escape.The valley also will perish,and the plain will be destroyed,as the Lord has spoken.
9 Give wings to Moab,that she may flee and get away;for the cities will become desolate,without any to dwell in them.
