Jeremiah 48:40-47 - No Escape For Moab

40 This is what Jehovah says: 'Look! Someone is coming like an eagle diving down from the sky and spreading its wings over Moab. 41 The towns of Moab will be captured. The strong walled cities will be defeated. Then Moab's warriors will be frightened like a woman who is giving birth.' 42 The nation of Moab will be destroyed. This is because they thought they were greater than Jehovah. 43 Fear, deep pits, and traps wait for you people of Moab,' says Jehovah. 44 People will run out of fear, but they will fall into the pits. Those who climb out of the pits will be caught in the traps.' I will bring the year of punishment to Moab, says Jehovah.

45 Helpless people have run to find protection in Heshbon, the city that King Sihon once ruled, but it is in flames. It has burned up leaders of Moab and destroyed those proud people.' 46 Pity the people of Moab! The people who worshiped Chemosh have been destroyed. Their sons and daughters have been taken away as prisoners. 47 In the future, however, I will make good things happen to Moab. It will be prosperous again,' says Jehovah. As of now the judgement of Moab.'
