People of Moab, run away! Run for your lives!
    Become like a lonely bush in the desert.
You trust in the things you can do.
    You trust in your riches.
    So you too will be taken away as prisoners.
Your god named Chemosh will be carried away.
    So will its priests and officials.
The one who is going to destroy you
    will come against every town.
    Not even one of them will escape.
The valley and the high plain
    will be destroyed.
    The Lord has spoken.

and Chemosh(D) will go into exile,(E)
    together with his priests and officials.(F)
The destroyer(G) will come against every town,
    and not a town will escape.
The valley will be ruined
    and the plateau(H) destroyed,
    because the Lord has spoken.
