Jeremiah 48:41-43
Evangelical Heritage Version
41 Kerioth is taken,
and the strongholds are seized.
On that day the hearts of Moab’s strong warriors
will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
42 Moab will be destroyed as a nation
because he has defied the Lord.
43 Panic, pit, and peril[a] are before you,
you who live in Moab, declares the Lord.
Footnotes
- Jeremiah 48:43 The Hebrew words pahad, pahat, and pah sound similar and are used for poetic effect. A bit of literalness is sacrificed in the rendering of pah to retain the effect. Pah is more literally trap.
