Jeremiah 48:5 Context
3A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim; Spoiling & great destruction. 4Moab is destroyed, her little ones haue caused a crie to be heard. 5For in the going vp of Luhith continuall weeping shall go vp; for in the going downe of Horonaim the enemies haue heard a crie of destruction. 6Flee, saue your liues, and be like the heath in the wildernesse. 7¶ For because thou hast trusted in thy workes, and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken, and Chemosh shall goe foorth into captiuitie with his priests and his princes together.
