Jeremiah 48:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 Run for your lives!
Head into the desert
like a wild donkey.[a]
7 You thought you could be saved
by your power and wealth,
but you will be captured
along with your god Chemosh,
his priests, and officials.
8 Not one of your towns
will escape destruction.
I have told your enemies,
“Wipe out the valley
and the flatlands of Moab.

become like a bush[a] in the desert.(B)

you too will be taken captive,
and Chemosh(D) will go into exile,(E)

and the plateau(H) destroyed,
because the Lord has spoken.
