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