So I will send a fire upon Moab,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of (A)Kerioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
    amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
(B)I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
    and will kill (C)all its princes[a] with him,”

but (F)their lies have led them astray,
    those after which their fathers walked.
