For by the ascent of (A)Luhith
They will ascend with continual weeping;
For at the descent of Horonaim
They have heard the distressed cry of destruction.
(B)Flee, escape with your lives,
That you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.
For because of your (C)trust in your own works and treasures,
Even you yourself will be captured;
And (D)Chemosh will go off into exile
Together with his priests and his princes.

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)
