Jeremiah 48:40-47 - No Escape For Moab

⁴⁰ For this is what the LORD says: "Look, like an eagle one will fly swiftly and spread his wings against Moab. ⁴¹ The towns will be captured and the strongholds seized. On that day the hearts of the warriors of Moab will be like the heart of a woman in labor. ⁴² Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he exalted himself against the LORD. ⁴³ Terror, pit, and trap will be used against you who live in Moab," declares the LORD. ⁴⁴ "The one who flees from the terror will fall into a pit. And the one who comes up out of the pit will be caught in a trap. For I'll bring upon her, that is upon Moab, the time of her punishment," declares the LORD.

⁴⁵ "The fugitives will stand without strength in the shadow of Heshbon, for fire will go out from Heshbon and a flame from the middle of Sihon. It will devour the forehead of Moab and the heads of the rebellious people. ⁴⁶ How terrible for you, Moab! The people of Chemosh will perish. Indeed, your sons will be taken into captivity, and your daughters as well. ⁴⁷ But I'll restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days," declares the LORD. This concludes the judgment on Moab.
