Spread salt on the ground
    to kill the crops.[a]
Leave its towns in ruins,
    with no one living there.
10 I want you to kill the Moabites,
and if you let them escape,
    I will put a curse on you.”

11 Moab, you are like wine
left to settle undisturbed,
    never poured from jar to jar.
And so, your nation continues
    to prosper and improve.[b]
