Jeremiah 48:44

A Message Concerning Moab

⁴³
“Terror and pit and snare are before you,
O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord.
⁴⁴ 
“The one who flees from the terror
Will fall into the pit,
And the one who gets up out of the pit
Will be taken and caught in the trap;
For I shall bring upon it, even upon Moab,
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord. ⁴⁵
“In the shadow of Heshbon
The fugitives stand powerless [helpless and without strength],
For a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
A flame from the midst of Sihon;
It has destroyed the forehead of Moab
And the crowns of the heads of [the arrogant Moabites] the ones in tumult.

Says the Lord

Time is Coming
