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.[a]
46 How terrible for you, Moab!
    The people of Chemosh[b] will perish.
Indeed, your sons will be taken into captivity,
    and your daughters as well.[c]
47 But I’ll restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days,”
    declares the Lord.

This concludes the judgment on Moab.
