    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,
    and they will fall into the deep holes.
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.
