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.
11 “The people of Moab have never known trouble.They are like wine left to settle;they have never been poured from one jar to another.They have not been taken into captivity.So they taste as they did before,and their smell has not changed.
12 A time is coming,” says the Lord,“When I will send people to pour you from your jars.They will empty Moab’s jarsand smash her jugs.
