Jeremiah 48:7-9
Living Bible
7 For you trusted in your wealth and skill; therefore, you shall perish. Your god Chemosh, with his priests and princes, shall be taken away to distant lands!
8 All the villages and cities, whether they be on the plateaus or in the valleys, shall be destroyed, for the Lord has said it. 9 Oh, for wings for Moab that she could fly away, for her cities shall be left without a living soul.

Jeremiah 48:7-9
New International Version
7 Since you trust in your deeds and riches,(A)
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.
9 Put salt(G) on Moab,
for she will be laid waste[a];(H)
her towns will become desolate,
with no one to live in them.
