For because of your trusting in your works and in your treasures,
    even you yourselves will be taken,
and Chemosh will go out into the exile,
    his priests and his officials together.
And the destroyer will come to every town,
    and a town will not escape.
And the valley will be destroyed,
    and the plain will be destroyed, as Yahweh has spoken.
Give salt for Moab,
    for certainly she will go to ruin,
and her towns will become as a desolation,
    without[a] an inhabitant in them.
