Jeremiah 48:6

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

Flee {H5127}, save {H4422} your lives {H5315}, and be {H1961} like the heath {H6176} in the wilderness {H4057}.

Flee! Save your lives! Be strong, like a tamarisk in the desert.

‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.’

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