Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a wilderness.

For, because of thy trusting in thy works, And in thy treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh in a removal, His priests and his heads together.

And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah 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.
