For they will go up by the ascent of (A)Luhith
With continual weeping;
For at the descent of Horonaim
They have heard the [a]anguished cry of destruction.
(B)Flee, save yourselves,
So that you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.
For because of your (C)trust in your own achievements and treasures,
You yourself will also be captured;
And (D)Chemosh will go off into exile
Together with his priests and his leaders.

  1. Jeremiah 48:5 Lit distresses of outcry

They go up the hill to Luhith,(A)
    weeping bitterly as they go;
on the road down to Horonaim(B)
    anguished cries over the destruction are heard.
Flee!(C) Run for your lives;
    become like a bush[a] in the desert.(D)
Since you trust in your deeds and riches,(E)
    you too will be taken captive,
and Chemosh(F) will go into exile,(G)
    together with his priests and officials.(H)
