³ All your leaders have fled^(A) together;
    they have been captured^(B) without using the bow.
All you who were caught were taken prisoner together,
    having fled while the enemy was still far away.
⁴ Therefore I said, “Turn away from me;
    let me weep^(C) bitterly.
Do not try to console me
    over the destruction of my people.”^(D)

⁵ The Lord, the Lord Almighty, has a day^(E)
    of tumult and trampling^(F) and terror^(G)
    in the Valley of Vision,^(H)
a day of battering down walls^(I)
    and of crying out to the mountains.

⁴¹ Kerioth^[a](A) will be captured
    and the strongholds taken.
In that day the hearts of Moab’s warriors^(B)
    will be like the heart of a woman in labor.^(C)
