5For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Yahweh has spoken.
9Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
10Cursed be he who does the work of Yahweh negligently; and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
