<p class="poetry">The people of Moab will be disappointed by their god Chemosh.p> <p class="poetry">They will be as disappointed as the people of Israel werep> <p class="poetry">when they put their trust in the calf god at Bethel.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">Moab, you are doomed!<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">You people who worship Chemosh will be destroyed.p> <p class="poetry">Your sons will be taken away captive.p> <p class="poetry">Your daughters will be carried away into exile.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">Woe to you, Moab.p> <p class="poetry">You are ruined, O people of Chemosh!<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">He has made his sons fugitives,p> <p class="poetry">and his daughters the prisoners of King Sihon of the Amorites.p>

Furthermore,<n id="1" /> on the hill east of Jerusalem<n id="2" /> Solomon built a high place<n id="3" /> for the detestable Moabite god Chemosh<n id="4" /> and for the detestable Ammonite god Milcom.<n id="5" />

<p class="poetry">&#8220;Moab, you trust in the things you do and in your riches.p> <p class="poetry">So you too will be conquered.p> <p class="poetry">Your god Chemosh<n id="1" /> will go into exile<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">along with his priests and his officials.p>

I am taking the kingdom from him<n id="1" /> because they have<n id="2" /> abandoned me and worshiped the Sidonian goddess Astarte, the Moabite god Chemosh, and the Ammonite god Milcom. They have not followed my instructions<n id="3" /> by doing what I approve and obeying my rules and regulations, like Solomon&#8217;s father David did.<n id="4" />

The king ruined the high places east of Jerusalem, south of the Mount of Destruction,<n id="1" /> that King Solomon of Israel had built for the detestable Sidonian goddess Astarte, the detestable Moabite god Chemosh, and the horrible Ammonite god Milcom.
