The valley and the plain will be destroyed also, as the Lord has said.

Flee!(A) Run for your lives;
    become like a bush[a] in the desert.(B)
Since you trust in your deeds and riches,(C)
    you too will be taken captive,
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.
