13 Harness your chariot horses and flee,
    you people of Lachish.[a]
You were the first city in Judah
    to follow Israel in her rebellion,
    and you led Jerusalem[b] into sin.
14 Send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath[c];
    there is no hope of saving it.
The town of Aczib[d]
    has deceived the kings of Israel.
15 O people of Mareshah,[e]
    I will bring a conqueror to capture your town.
And the leaders[f] of Israel
    will go to Adullam.
