"Go in flight, get away with your lives, and let your faces be turned to Aroer in the Arabah."
— Jeremiah 48:6, Bible in Basic English
There is the sound of crying from Horonaim, wasting and great destruction;
Moab is broken; her cry has gone out to Zoar.
For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.
Go in flight, get away with your lives, and let your faces be turned to Aroer in the Arabah.
For because you have put your faith in your strong places, you, even you, will be taken: and Chemosh will go out as a prisoner, his priests and his rulers together.
And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.
Put up a pillar for Moab, for she will come to a complete end: and her towns will become a waste, without anyone living in them.
