Jeremiah 48:1-9
English Standard Version
2the renown of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they planned disaster against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!’ You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue you.
3"A voice! A cry from Horonaim, ‘Desolation and great destruction!’
4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have made a cry.
5 For at the ascent of Luhith they go up weeping; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distressed cry of destruction.
6Flee! Save yourselves! You will be like a juniper in the desert!
7For, because you trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken; and Chemosh shall go into exile with his priests and his officials.
8 The destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the Lord has spoken.
9"Give wings to Moab, for she would fly away; her cities shall become a desolation, with no inhabitant in them.
