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.
