Jeremiah 48:43-45
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
43 Terror, pit, and trap
are before you, O inhabitants of Moab!
says the Lord.
44 Everyone who flees from the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and everyone who climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the trap.
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 exhausted;
for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
a flame from the house of Sihon;
it has destroyed the forehead of Moab,
the scalp of the people of tumult.[b]
