Jeremiah 48:43-45
Revised Standard Version
43 Terror, pit, and snare
are before you, O inhabitant of Moab!
says the Lord.
44 He who flees from the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and he who climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the snare.
For I will bring these things[a] upon Moab
in the year of their punishment,
says the Lord.
45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
fugitives stop without strength;
for a fire has gone forth from Heshbon,
a flame from the house of Sihon;
it has destroyed the forehead of Moab,
the crown of the sons of tumult.
