Jeremiah 48:7

A Message Concerning Moab

⁶ Flee! Save your lives!
Be like a juniper bush in the wilderness.
⁷ Because you trust in your works and treasures,
you will be captured also.
Chemosh will go into exile
with his priests and officials.
⁸ The destroyer will move against every town;
not one town will escape.
The valley will perish,
and the plain will be annihilated,
as the Lord has said.
