People of Moab, you trusted your riches and your skills to save you.
Because of that, your enemies will catch you.
They will even take your god Chemosh away as prisoner,
together with his priests and officers.
Your cruel enemy will attack every town.
No town or city will escape.
The enemy will destroy every place in the valley,
and every place on the high ground.
They will become heaps of stones.

I, the Lord, tell you this!

Dig a grave to bury Moab![a]
Its land will become like a desert.
Its cities will become heaps of stones.
Nobody will live in them.’
