Jeremiah 48:43-47 ▼

43 Panic and pit and pitfall are coming upon you, O inhabitant of Moab,” declares Yahweh.

44 “The one who flees from the panic Will fall into the pit, And the one who climbs up out of the pit Will be caught in the pitfall; For I shall bring upon her, even upon Moab, The year of their punishment,” declares Yahweh.

45 “In the shadow of Heshbon Those who flee stand without strength; For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon And a flame from the midst of Sihon, And it has devoured the top of the head of Moab And the scalps of those who rumble.

46 Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; For your sons have been taken away captive And your daughters into captivity.

47 Yet I will return the fortunes of Moab In the last days,” declares Yahweh. Thus far the judgment on Moab.
