You thought you could be saved
    by your power and wealth,
but you will be captured
along with your god Chemosh,
    his priests, and officials.
Not one of your towns
    will escape destruction.

“Wipe out the valley
    and the flatlands of Moab.
Spread salt on the ground
    to kill the crops.[a]
Leave its towns in ruins,
    with no one living there.
