Jeremiah 48:8 in context

Jeremiah 48:5–11

5

For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping.

For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.

6

Flee! Save your lives!

Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.

7

For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures,

you also will be taken.

Chemosh will go out into captivity,

his priests and his princes together.

8
Selected verse

The destroyer will come on every city,

and no city will escape;

the valley also will perish,

and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.

9

Give wings to Moab,

that she may fly and get herself away:

and her cities will become a desolation,

without anyone to dwell in them.

10

“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently;

and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

11

“Moab has been at ease from his youth,

and he has settled on his dregs,

and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,

neither has he gone into captivity;

therefore his taste remains in him,

and his scent is not changed.
