4 Moab will be broken up.Her little children will cry for help.
5 Moab’s people go up the path to the town of Luhith,crying loudly as they go.On the road down to Horonaim,cries of pain and suffering can be heard.
6 Run! Run for your lives!Go like a bush being blown through the desert.
7 You trust in the things you do and in your wealth,so you also will be captured.The god Chemosh will go into captivityand his priests and officers with him.
8 The destroyer will come against every town;not one town will escape.The valley will be ruined,and the high plain will be destroyed,as the Lord has said.
9 Give wings to Moab,because she will surely leave her land.Moab’s towns will become empty,with no one to live in them.
10 A curse will be on anyone who doesn’t do what the Lord says,and a curse will be on anyone who holds back his sword from killing.
