Jeremiah 48:3-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 48
3The sound of an outcry from Horonaim, ‘Devastation and great destruction!’ 4Moab is broken, Her little ones have sounded out a cry of distress. 5For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith With continual weeping; For at the descent of Horonaim They have heard the anguished cry of destruction. 6Flee, save yourselves, So that you may be like a juniper in the wilderness. 7For because of your trust in your own achievements and treasures, You yourself will also be captured; And Chemosh will go off into exile Together with his priests and his leaders. 8A destroyer will come to every city, So that no city will escape; The valley also will be ruined And the plateau will be destroyed, As the Lord has said.King James Version
Chapter 48
3A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction. 4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard. 5For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 6Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. 7For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together. 8And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 48
3A voice cries out from Horonaim, "devastation and a crushing blow! " 4Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out. 5For on the Ascent to Luhith they will be weeping continually, and on the descent to Horonaim will be heard cries of distress over the destruction: 6Flee! Save your lives! Be like a juniper bush in the wilderness. 7Because you trust in your works and treasures, you will be captured also. Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials. 8The destroyer will move against every town; not one town will escape. The valley will perish, and the plain will be annihilated, as the Lord has said.New Living Translation

3Listen to the cries from Horonaim, cries of devastation and great destruction. 4All Moab is destroyed. Her little ones will cry out. 5Her refugees weep bitterly, climbing the slope to Luhith. They cry out in terror, descending the slope to Horonaim. 6Flee for your lives! Hide in the wilderness! 7Because you have trusted in your wealth and skill, you will be taken captive. Your god Chemosh, with his priests and officials, will be hauled off to distant lands!English Standard Version

3“A voice! A cry from Horonaim, ‘Desolation and great destruction!’ 4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have made a cry. 5For 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. 8The 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.New International Version

3Cries of anguish arise from Horonaim, cries of great havoc and destruction. 4Moab will be broken; her little ones will cry out. 5They go up the hill to Luhith, weeping bitterly as they go; on the road down to Horonaim anguished cries over the destruction are heard. 6Flee! Run for your lives; become like a bush in the desert. 7Since you trust in your deeds and riches, you too will be taken captive, and Chemosh will go into exile, together with his priests and officials. 8The destroyer will come against every town, and not a town will escape. The valley will be ruined and the plateau destroyed, because the LORD has spoken.New King James Version
