Jeremiah 48:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 “Flee, save your lives!
Be like a wild donkey in the wilderness!”
7 Because you trusted in your works and your treasures,
you also shall be captured.
Chemosh[a] shall go into exile,
his priests and princes with him.(A)
8 The destroyer comes upon every city,
not a city escapes;
Ruined is the valley,
wasted the plateau—oracle of the Lord.
Jeremiah 48:6-8
New International Version
6 Flee!(A) Run for your lives;
become like a bush[a] in the desert.(B)
7 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)
8 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.
