For on the Ascent to Luhith
they will be weeping continually,[a]
and on the descent to Horonaim
will be heard cries of distress over the destruction:(A)
Flee! Save your lives!
Be like a juniper bush[b](B) in the wilderness.
Because you trust in your works[c] and treasures,
you will be captured also.
Chemosh(C) will go into exile
with his priests and officials.
