Bible verse
A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’
Jeremiah 48:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 48.
1 Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled.
2 There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
3 A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’
4 Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.
5 For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:
6 ‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.’
7 Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
