- The following is a prophecy concerning the nation of Moav and its being conquered by Sancheirev.
- Its destruction: The country will be ransacked while they sleep silently at night.
- The mourning: They will wear sackcloth and cry and shave their heads in mourning for their country.
- Their cry will be heard for some distance.
- No water or vegetation in the country: There will be no water in the country due to pollution of the blood of those slain and this will cause all the vegetation to dry up and vanish.
- Fleeing the country: The inhabitants will flee and carry their wealth out of the country.
- Killed by lions: Those who remain in the country and do not flee will be killed by the lion [i.e. Sancheirev[1]].
