“You trust in the things you made and in your wealth,
    so you will be captured.
The god Chemosh will be taken into captivity,
    and his priests and officials 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,
    so it will happen.
Spread salt over the fields in Moab.
    The country will be an empty desert.[a]
Moab’s towns will become empty.
    No one will live in them.
