Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness.

For because thou hast confided in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken, and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

And the waster shall come upon every city, that not a city shall escape; and the valley shall perish, and the plateau shall be destroyed: as Jehovah hath said.

Flee!(A) Run for your lives;
    become like a bush[a] in the desert.(B)
Since you trust in your deeds and riches,(C)
    you too will be taken captive,
and Chemosh(D) will go into exile,(E)
    together with his priests and officials.(F)
The destroyer(G) will come against every town,
    and not a town will escape.
The valley will be ruined
    and the plateau(H) destroyed,
    because the Lord has spoken.
