Flee, save your lives,
    and be like the juniper in the wilderness.
For because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures,
    you will also be captured;
and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity
    together with his priests and his officials.
The destroyer will come upon every city,
    and no city will escape.
The valley also will perish,
    and the plain will be destroyed,
    as the Lord has spoken.

    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.
