Jeremiah 48:45-47

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴⁵ “People have run from the powerful enemy.
    They ran to safety in the town of Heshbon.
But a fire started in Heshbon.
    That fire started in Sihon’s town,^[a]
and it is destroying the leaders of Moab.
    It is destroying those proud people.
⁴⁶ It will be bad for you, Moab.
    Chemosh’s people are being destroyed.
Your sons and daughters are being taken away
    as prisoners and captives.
⁴⁷ Moab’s people will be taken away as captives.
    But in days to come, I will bring them back.”
    This message is from the Lord.
