5For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.
6Go in flight, get away with your lives, and let your faces be turned to Aroer in the Arabah.
7For because you have put your faith in your strong places, you, even you, will be taken: and Chemosh will go out as a prisoner, his priests and his rulers together.
8And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.
9Put up a pillar for Moab, for she will come to a complete end: and her towns will become a waste, without anyone living in them.
10Let him be cursed who does the Lord's work half-heartedly; let him be cursed who keeps back his sword from blood.
11From his earliest days, Moab has been living in comfort; like wine long stored he has not been drained from vessel to vessel, he has never gone away as a prisoner: so his taste is still in him, his smell is unchanged.
