Jeremiah 48:6-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 48
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. 9Give wings to Moab, For she will flee away; And her cities will become a desolation, Without inhabitants in them. 10Cursed is the one who does the Lord’S work negligently, And cursed is the one who restrains his sword from blood.King James Version
Chapter 48
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. 9Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein. 10Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 48
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. 9Make Moab a salt marsh, for she will run away; her towns will become a desolation, without inhabitant. 10The one who does the Lord's business deceitfully is cursed, and the one who withholds his sword from bloodshed is cursed.New Living Translation
Chapter 48
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!
8'All the towns will be destroyed, and no one will escape — either on the plateaus or in the valleys, for the Lord has spoken.
9Oh, that Moab had wings so she could fly away, for her towns will be left empty, with no one living in them.
10Cursed are those who refuse to do the Lord’s work, who hold back their swords from shedding blood!
