Jeremiah 48:41-43
Easy-to-Read Version
41 The towns of Moab will be captured.
The strong hiding places will be defeated.
At that time Moab’s soldiers will be filled with fear,
like a woman giving birth.
42 The nation of Moab will be destroyed,
because they thought that they were more important than the Lord.”
43 This is what the Lord says:
“People of Moab, fear, deep holes, and traps[a] wait for you.
