Give [a](A)wings to Moab,
For she will [b]flee away;
And her cities will become a (B)desolation,
Without inhabitants in them.

And cursed be the one who restrains his (E)sword from blood.

He has also had (G)quiet, like wine on [c]its dregs,
And he has not been (H)emptied from vessel to vessel,
Nor has he gone into exile.
Therefore [d]he retains his flavor,
And his aroma has not changed.
