Since you trust in your deeds and riches
Psalm 49:5-6 Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me--those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches?
Proverbs 11:28 Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
and Chemosh
Numbers 21:29 "Woe to you, Moab! You are destroyed, people of Chemosh! He has given up his sons as fugitives and his daughters as captives to Sihon king of the Amorites."
will go into exile
Isaiah 46:1-2 Bel (another name for Marduk chief deity of Babylon) bows down, Nebo stoops low; their idols are borne by beasts of burden. The images that are carried about are burdensome, a burden for the weary. They stoop and bow down together; unable to rescue the burden, they themselves go off into captivity.
Jeremiah 49:3 "Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is destroyed! Cry out you inhabitants of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn; rush here and there inside the walls, for Molek (chief god of the Ammonites) will go into exile, together with his priests and officials."
together with his priests and officials
Amos 2:1-3 This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not relent. Because he burned to ashes the bones of Edom's king, I will send fire on Moab that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will go down in great tumult amid war cries and the blast of the trumpet. I will destroy her ruler and kill all her officials with him," says the LORD.
