Spread salt over the fields in Moab.
    The country will be an empty desert.[a]
Moab’s towns will become empty.
    No one will live in them.
10 Bad things will happen to those who
    don’t obey the Lord and don’t use their swords to kill those people.

11 “Moab has never known trouble.
    Moab is like wine left to settle.
Moab has never been poured from one jar to another.
    He has not been taken into captivity.
So he tastes as he did before,
    and his smell has not changed.”
