For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping.
    For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
Flee! Save your lives!
    Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures,
    you also will be taken.
Chemosh will go out 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)
