Context of Jeremiah 48:8

6“Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in the wilderness. 7For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, You also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together. And the plunderer shall come against every city; No one shall escape. The valley also shall perish, And the plain shall be destroyed, As the Lord has spoken. 9“Give wings to Moab, That she may flee and get away; For her cities shall be desolate, Without any to dwell in them. 10Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully, And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
