On the way up to Luhith,
        there is uncontrollable weeping.
    On the way down to Horonaim,
        they hear sobs of anguish.
Run for your lives!
    Be like Aroer[a] in the desert.
Because you have relied
        on your own strength and treasures,
    you also will be captured.
Chemosh will go into exile,
    together with his priests and officials.

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)
