Jeremiah 48:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 For because thou hast trusted in thy [a]works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken, and [b]Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his Priests and his Princes together.
8 And the destroyer shall come upon all cities, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish and the plain shall be destroyed as the Lord hath spoken.
9 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
