New King James Version

Jeremiah 48:3-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

3. A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim:‘Plundering and great destruction!’

4. “Moab is destroyed;Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard;

5. For in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping;For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.

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.

9. “Give wings to Moab,That she may flee and get away;For her cities shall be desolate,Without any to dwell in them.

10. Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully,And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
