Jeremiah 48:7-9
Good News Translation
7 “Moab, you trusted in your strength and your wealth,
but now even you will be conquered;
your god Chemosh will go into exile,
along with his princes and priests.
8 Not a town will escape the destruction;
both valley and plain will be ruined.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
9 Set up a tombstone for Moab;
it will soon be destroyed.
Its towns will be left in ruins,
and no one will live there again.”
Jeremiah 48:7-9

you too will be taken captive,
and Chemosh(B) will go into exile,(C)
together with his priests and officials.(D)
8 The destroyer(E) will come against every town,
and not a town will escape.
The valley will be ruined
and the plateau(F) destroyed,
because the Lord has spoken.

for she will be laid waste[a];(H)

with no one to live in them.
