Jeremiah 48:44-46
Easy-to-Read Version
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.
45 “People have run from the powerful enemy.
They ran to safety in the town of Heshbon.
But a fire started in Heshbon.
That fire started in Sihon’s town,[a]
and it is destroying the leaders of Moab.
It is destroying those proud people.
46 It will be bad for you, Moab.
Chemosh’s people are being destroyed.
Your sons and daughters are being taken away
as prisoners and captives.

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.

The people of Chemosh are destroyed;
your sons are taken into exile
and your daughters into captivity.
