Jeremiah 48:44-46
Common English Bible
Jeremiah 48:44-46
Common English Bible
44 Those who flee from terror
will fall into a pit;
those who escape the pit
will be captured by the trap.
I will bring upon Moab
the year of its punishment,
declares the Lord.
45 In Heshbon tired refugees seek shelter.
But fire is raging in Heshbon,
flames from the house[a] of Sihon.
It has burned up part of Moab,
including the leader of this rebellious nation.[b]
46 How terrible for you, Moab;
the people of Chemosh have perished.
Your sons have been carried off;
your daughters have been taken captive.

Jeremiah 48:44-46
New International Version
44 “Whoever flees(A) from the terror
will fall into a pit,
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare;
for I will bring on Moab
the year(B) of her punishment,”
declares the Lord.
45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
the fugitives stand helpless,
for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
a blaze from the midst of Sihon;(C)
it burns the foreheads of Moab,
the skulls(D) of the noisy boasters.
46 Woe to you, Moab!(E)
The people of Chemosh are destroyed;
your sons are taken into exile
and your daughters into captivity.
