2 The praise of Moab is no more.In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence.The sword will pursue you.
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 will 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 will 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 the Lord has spoken.
