9 Put salt on Moab,

for she will be laid waste;

her towns will become desolate,

with no one to live in them.

10 “A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work!

A curse on anyone who keeps their sword from bloodshed!

9 Give wings unto Moab,

That it may flee and get away:

For the cities thereof shall be desolate,

Without any to dwell therein.

10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully,

And cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

9 Oh, that Moab had wings

so she could fly away,

for her towns will be left empty,

with no one living in them.

10 Cursed are those who refuse to do the Lord’s work,

who hold back their swords from shedding blood!

9 “Give wings to Moab,

That she may flee and get away;

For her cities shall be desolate,

Without any to dwell in them.

10 Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully,

And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

9 Give wings to Moab,

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.

9 Give wings unto Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein. 10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently; and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

9 Give wings unto Moab, that she may flee and get away; and the cities thereof shall become a desolation, without inhabitant. 10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood!

9 Put salt on Moab. 

It will be destroyed. 

Its cities will become deserted ruins. 

10 Cursed are those who neglect doing the Lord’s work. 

Cursed are those who keep their swords from killing. 

9 Make Moab a salt marsh,

for she will run away;

her towns will become a desolation,

without inhabitant.

10 The one who does

the Lord’s business deceitfully is cursed,

and the one who withholds

his sword from bloodshed is cursed.

9 Set aside salt for Moab,

for she will surely fall;

her towns shall become a desolation,

with no inhabitant in them.

10 Accursed is the one who is slack in doing the work of the Lord; and accursed is the one who keeps back the sword from bloodshed.

9 Give salt for Moab,

for certainly she will go to ruin,

and her towns will become as a desolation,

without an inhabitant in them.

10 The one who does the work of Yahweh with slackness is cursed,

and the one who keeps away blood from his sword is cursed.

9 Sprinkle salt all over Moab.

It will be completely destroyed.

Its towns will be a dry and empty desert.

No one will live in them.

10 “May a person who is lazy when he does my work

be under my curse!

May anyone who keeps his sword from killing

be under my curse!

9 “Give wings to Moab,

For she will flee away;

And her cities will become a desolation,

Without inhabitants in them.

10 “Cursed be the one who does the Lord’s work negligently,

And cursed be the one who restrains his sword from blood.
