Run for your lives!
Head into the desert
    like a wild donkey.[a]
You thought you could be saved
    by your power and wealth,
but you will be captured
along with your god Chemosh,
    his priests, and officials.
Not one of your towns
    will escape destruction.

I have told your enemies,
“Wipe out the valley
    and the flatlands of Moab.
