·Run [Flee]! ·Run for [L Escape with] your lives!
    Go like a ·bush [or wild ass; or Aroer] in the ·desert [wilderness].
You ·trust [have confidence] in the things you do and in your ·wealth [L storehouses; or arsenals],
    so you also will be captured.
The god Chemosh [C the chief god of Moab] will go into ·captivity [exile]
    and his priests and officers with him.
The destroyer will come against every town;
    not one town will escape.
The valley will ·be ruined [perish],
    and the high plain will be destroyed,
    as the Lord has said.
