Moab, you put your faith in your works and your wealth. That is why you, too, will be conquered. Your god Chemosh will go into captivity, along with his priests and officials. The destroyer will attack every city; not one will escape. This enemy will ruin both the valleys and the plains, just as YAHWEH has said. Give Moab wings so she can fly away. Her cities will be empty and desolate with no one living in them. “Cursed be the one who does the work of YAHWEH halfheartedly, and cursed be the one who withholds his sword from blood. Moab has always lived securely and has never been taken into exile. Moab is like wine left to settle undisturbed, and never poured from jar to jar. It still has a good flavor, and its taste has never changed.” But YAHWEH declares, “The days are coming when I will send enemies who will pour her out like wine. They will empty her wine jar and smash it to pieces. Then Moab will be ashamed of their god Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, the god who was once their confidence.
