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