45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
The fugitives stand without strength;
For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon
And a (A)flame from the midst of (B)Sihon,
And it has devoured the (C)forehead of Moab
And the scalps of the [a]riotous revelers.
46 (D)Woe to you, Moab!
The people of (E)Chemosh have perished;
For your sons have been taken away captive
And your daughters into captivity.
47 “Yet I will (F)restore the [b]fortunes of Moab
In the [c]latter days,” declares the Lord.

Thus far the judgment on Moab.
