3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
4 Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 For they shall go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6 Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
7 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8 The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed; as Yahweh has spoken.
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
