For you trusted in your wealth and skill; therefore, you shall perish. Your god Chemosh, with his priests and princes, shall be taken away to distant lands!

All the villages and cities, whether they be on the plateaus or in the valleys, shall be destroyed, for the Lord has said it. Oh, for wings for Moab that she could fly away, for her cities shall be left without a living soul.

Since you trust in your deeds and riches,(A)
    you too will be taken captive,
and Chemosh(B) will go into exile,(C)
    together with his priests and officials.(D)
The destroyer(E) will come against every town,
    and not a town will escape.
The valley will be ruined
    and the plateau(F) destroyed,
    because the Lord has spoken.
Put salt(G) on Moab,
    for she will be laid waste[a];(H)
her towns will become desolate,
    with no one to live in them.
