Jeremiah 48:44-46
Lexham English Bible
44 “He who flees before[a] the dread
will fall into the pit,
and the one who climbs up from the pit
will be caught in the trapping net,
for I will bring on Moab
the year of their punishment,” declares[b] Yahweh.
45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
fugitives stand without strength,
for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
and a flame from Sihon.
And it has eaten the forehead of Moab,
and the skulls[c] of the people[d] of tumult.
46 Woe to you, Moab!
The people of Chemosh have perished.
For your sons have been taken into captivity,
and your daughters into captivity.

for I will bring on Moab
the year(B) of her punishment,”
declares the Lord.

the fugitives stand helpless,
for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
a blaze from the midst of Sihon;(C)

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