For, (A)because you trusted in your works and your treasures,
    you also shall be taken;
and (B)Chemosh (C)shall go into exile
    with (D)his priests and his officials.
(E)The destroyer shall come upon every city,
    and no city shall escape;
the valley shall perish,
    and (F)the plain shall be destroyed,
    as the Lord has spoken.

“Give wings to Moab,
    for she would fly away;
her cities shall become a desolation,
    with no inhabitant in them.
