New International Reader's Version

Jeremiah 48:3-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. Listen to the cries from Horonaim. The town is being completely destroyed.

4. Moab will be broken. Her little ones will cry out.

5. The people go up the road to Luhith. They are sobbing bitterly as they go. Loud cries are heard on the road down to Horonaim. People cry out because the town is being destroyed.

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.
