    because they thought that they were more important than the Lord.”

43 This is what the Lord says:
    “People of Moab, fear, deep holes, and traps[a] wait for you.
44 People will be afraid and run away,

Anyone who climbs out of the deep holes
    will be caught in the traps.
I will bring the year of punishment to Moab.”
    This is what the Lord said.
