4. All Moab is destroyed.Her little ones will cry out.
5. Her refugees weep bitterly,climbing the slope to Luhith.They cry out in terror,descending the slope to Horonaim.
6. Flee for your lives!Hide in the wilderness!
7. Because you have trusted in your wealth and skill,you will be taken captive.Your god Chemosh, with his priests and officials,will be hauled off to distant lands!
8. “All the towns will be destroyed,and no one will escape—either on the plateaus or in the valleys,for the lord has spoken.
9. Oh, that Moab had wingsso she could fly away,for her towns will be left empty,with no one living in them.
