Moab is broken;
Her little ones have made their cry of distress heard.
For by the ascent of (A)Luhith
They will ascend with continual weeping;
For at the descent of Horonaim
They have heard the distressed cry of destruction.
(B)Flee, escape with your lives,
That you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.

Moab will be broken;
    her little ones will cry out.[a]
They go up the hill to Luhith,(A)
    weeping bitterly as they go;
on the road down to Horonaim(B)
    anguished cries over the destruction are heard.
Flee!(C) Run for your lives;
    become like a bush[b] in the desert.(D)
