“Flee! Save your lives!
    Survive like a wild ass in the desert!”
Because you placed your trust
    in your strongholds and your treasures,
    you also will be captured.
Chemosh will go into exile,
    along with all his priests and attendants.
The destroyer will move against every town;
    not a single town will escape.
The valley will be laid waste,
    and the plain will be destroyed,
    as the Lord has said.
