Jeremiah 48:6
◄  Jeremiah 48:6  ►
New International Version (© 2011)
Flee! Run for your lives; become like a bush in the desert.

King James Bible
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

American Standard Version
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

Young's Literal Translation
Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a wilderness.

Jeremiah 48:6 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Flee, save your lives - The enemy is in full pursuit of you.

Be like the heath - כערוער caaroer, "like Aroer;" which some take for a city, others for a blasted or withered tree. It is supposed that a place of this name lay towards the north, in the land of the Ammonites, on a branch of the river Jabbok; surrounded by deserts. Save yourselves by getting into the wilderness, where the pursuing foe will scarcely think it worth his while to follow you, as the wilderness itself must soon destroy you.
