4 “Moab is destroyed;
¹Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard; ‡

5 ^aFor in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping;
For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. ‡

7 For because you have trusted in your works and your ^atreasures,
You also shall be taken.
And ^bChemosh shall go forth into captivity,
His ^cpriests and his princes together. ‡

8 And ^athe plunderer shall come against every city;
No one shall escape.
The valley also shall perish,
And the plain shall be destroyed,
As the Lord has spoken. ‡
