There is the sound of crying from Horonaim, wasting and great destruction;

Moab is broken; her cry has gone out to Zoar.

For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.

6

Go in flight, get away with your lives, and let your faces be turned to Aroer in the Arabah.

7

For because you have put your faith in your strong places, you, even you, will be taken: and Chemosh will go out as a prisoner, his priests and his rulers together.

And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.

Put up a pillar for Moab, for she will come to a complete end: and her towns will become a waste, without anyone living in them.
