Flee! Escape with your lives!
Be like a tamarisk in the wilderness.
For because of your trust in your works and your treasures,
you will be captured, too.
Chemosh will go into exile,
together with his priests and princes.
The destroyer will come to every town.
No town will escape.
The valley will perish
and the plain will be destroyed,
as Adonai has 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.
