For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction. Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

They go up the hill to Luhith,(A)
    weeping bitterly as they go;
on the road down to Horonaim(B)
    anguished cries over the destruction are heard.
Flee!(C) Run for your lives;
    become like a bush[a] in the desert.(D)
Since you trust in your deeds and riches,(E)
    you too will be taken captive,
and Chemosh(F) will go into exile,(G)
    together with his priests and officials.(H)
