6 Flee! Run for your lives;

become like a bush in the desert.

7 Since 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.

8 The 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.

6 Flee, save your lives,

And be like the heath in the wilderness.

7 For 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.

8 And 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.

6 Flee for your lives!

Hide in the wilderness!

7 Because 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.

6 “Flee, save your lives!

And be like the juniper in the wilderness.

7 For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures,

You also shall be taken.

And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity,

His priests and his princes together.

8 And the plunderer shall come against every city;

No one shall escape.

The valley also shall perish,

And the plain shall be destroyed,

As the Lord has spoken.

6 Run! Run for your lives!

Go like a bush being blown through the desert.

7 You trust in the things you do and in your wealth,

so you also will be captured.

The god Chemosh will go into captivity

and his priests and officers with him.

8 The destroyer will come against every town;

not one town will escape.

The valley will be ruined,

and the high plain will be destroyed,

as the Lord has said.

6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. 7 For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together. 8 And the destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Jehovah hath spoken.

6 Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness. 7 For because thou hast confided in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken, and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together. 8 And the waster shall come upon every city, that not a city shall escape; and the valley shall perish, and the plateau shall be destroyed: as Jehovah hath said.

6 “Run away! Run for your lives! 

Run like a wild donkey in the desert.” 

7 Since you trust the things you do and your treasures, 

you will be captured. 

Chemosh will go into captivity with all its priests and officials. 

8 The destroyer will come to every city, and no city will escape. 

The valley will be destroyed, and the plain will be laid waste 

as the Lord has threatened. 

6 Flee! Save your lives!

Be like a juniper bush in the wilderness.

7 Because you trust in your works and treasures,

you will be captured also.

Chemosh will go into exile

with his priests and officials.

8 The 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.

6 Flee! Save yourselves!

Be like a wild ass in the desert!

7 Surely, because you trusted in your strongholds and your treasures,

you also shall be taken;

Chemosh shall go out into exile,

with his priests and his attendants.

8 The destroyer shall come upon every town,

and no town shall escape;

the valley shall perish,

and the plain shall be destroyed,

as the Lord has spoken.

6 Flee! Save your life!

For you must be like the juniper tree in the desert.

7 For because of your trusting in your works and in your treasures,

even you yourselves will be taken,

and Chemosh will go out into the exile,

his priests and his officials together.

8 And the destroyer will come to every town,

and a town will not escape.

And the valley will be destroyed,

and the plain will be destroyed, as Yahweh has spoken.

6 People of Moab run away! Run for your lives!

Become like a lonely bush in the desert.

7 You trust in the things you can do.

You trust in your riches.

So you too will be taken away as prisoners.

Your god Chemosh will be carried away.

So will its priests and officials.

8 The one who is going to destroy you

will come against every town.

Not even one of them will escape.

The valley and the high flatlands

will be destroyed.

I, the Lord, have spoken.

6 “Flee, save your lives,

That you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.

7 “For because of your trust in your own achievements and treasures,

Even you yourself will be captured;

And Chemosh will go off into exile

Together with his priests and his princes.

8 “A 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.
