People of Moab, run away! Run for your lives! Become like a lonely bush in the desert.

你们要奔逃，自救性命，独自居住，好像旷野的杜松。

你们要奔逃，自救己命，使你们的性命如旷野里的矮树。

你们要奔逃，自救己命，使你们的性命如旷野里的矮树。

逃命吧！藏到旷野去吧！

你们要逃跑，赶快逃命吧！你们好像旷野的灌木。

你們要奔逃，自救性命，獨自居住，好像曠野的杜松。

你們要奔逃，自救己命，使你們的性命如曠野裏的矮樹。

你們要奔逃，自救己命，使你們的性命如曠野裏的矮樹。

逃命吧！藏到曠野去吧！

你們要逃跑，趕快逃命吧！你們好像曠野的灌木。

你們要逃跑，逃命！像曠野的野驢。

爾其遁逃、自救生命、若曠野之杜松、

若不遁逃自救、必如曠野之杜松。

當遁逃、自救生命、當如曠野之焭獨人、焭獨人或作杜松

Flee! Run for your lives; become like a bush in the desert.

Flee! Save yourselves! You will be like a juniper in the desert!

Flee for your lives! Hide in the wilderness!

Flee! Save your lives! Be like a juniper bush in the wilderness.

Flee, save yourselves, So that you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.

“ Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in the wilderness.

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

Flee! Save your lives! Be like a juniper bush in the wilderness.

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

They will hear,‘ Run! Save yourselves! Even if you must be like a lonely shrub in the desert!’

Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.

They will be like a bush in a dry and empty land. They will not enjoy success when it comes. They will live in dry places in the desert. It is a land of salt where no one else lives.

“ People of Judah, run away from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of the sins of its people. It is time for me to pay them back. I will punish them for what they have done.

When God made his promise, he gave his word. He did this so we would have good reason not to give up. Instead, we have run to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope is set before us in God’s promise. So God made his promise and gave his word. These two things can’t change. He couldn’t lie about them.

John spoke to the crowds coming to be baptized by him. He said,“ You are like a nest of poisonous snakes! Who warned you to escape the coming of God’s anger?

Then those who are in Judea should escape to the mountains.No one on the housetop should go down into the house to take anything out.No one in the field should go back to get their coat.

Don’t let your eyes go to sleep. Don’t let your eyelids close.As a deer frees itself from a hunter, free yourself. As a bird frees itself from a trapper, free yourself.

They were weak because they were needy and hungry. They wandered through dry and empty deserts at night.Among the bushes they gathered salty plants. They ate the roots of desert bushes.They were driven away from human society. They were shouted at as if they were robbers.They were forced to live in dry stream beds. They had to stay among rocks and in holes in the ground.Like donkeys they cried out among the bushes. There they crowded together and hid.

Suppose someone is on the housetop on that day. And suppose what they own is inside the house. They should not go down to get what they own. No one in the field should go back for anything either.Remember Lot’s wife!Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it. Whoever loses their life will keep it.

As soon as the angels had brought them out, one of them spoke. He said,“ Run for your lives! Don’t look back! Don’t stop anywhere in the valley! Run to the mountains! If you don’t, you will be swept away!”

I run to the Lord for safety. So how can you say to me,“ Fly away like a bird to your mountain.
