Moab is broken,
Her little ones have sounded out a cry of distress.
For they will go up by the ascent of (A)Luhith
With continual weeping;
For at the descent of Horonaim
They have heard the [a]anguished cry of destruction.
(B)Flee, save yourselves,
So that you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.

  1. Jeremiah 48:5 Lit distresses of outcry

Moab will be broken;
    her little ones will cry out.[a]
They go up the hill to Luhith,(A)
    weeping bitterly as they go;
on the road down to Horonaim(B)
    anguished cries over the destruction are heard.
Flee!(C) Run for your lives;
    become like a bush[b] in the desert.(D)
