The destroyer will come against every town;
    not one town will escape.
The valley will be ruined,
    and the high plain will be destroyed,
    as the Lord has said.

    because she will surely leave her land.
Moab’s towns will become empty,
    with no one to live in them.
10 A curse will be on anyone who doesn’t do what the Lord says,
    and a curse will be on anyone who holds back his sword from killing.
