Flee! Save yourselves!
    You will be like (A)a juniper in the desert!
For, (B)because you trusted in your works and your treasures,
    you also shall be taken;
and (C)Chemosh (D)shall go into exile
    with (E)his priests and his officials.
(F)The destroyer shall come upon every city,
    and no city shall escape;
the valley shall perish,
    and (G)the plain shall be destroyed,
    as the Lord has spoken.
