Run! Run for your lives!
    Go like a bush being blown through the desert.
You trust in the things you do and in your wealth.
    So you also will be captured.
The god Chemosh will be taken into captivity.
    And his priests and officers will be taken with him.
The destroyer will come against every town.
    Not one town will escape.
The valley will be ruined.
    The high plain will be destroyed.
    The Lord said this would happen.

and Chemosh(D) will go into exile,(E)
    together with his priests and officials.(F)
The destroyer(G) will come against every town,
