45 In Heshbon tired refugees seek shelter.
    But fire is raging in Heshbon,
        flames from the house[a] of Sihon.
It has burned up part of Moab,
    including the leader of this rebellious nation.[b]
46 How terrible for you, Moab;
    the people of Chemosh have perished.
Your sons have been carried off;
    your daughters have been taken captive.
47 But in the days to come
    I’ll bring back Moab from captivity,
        declares the Lord.
    Such is the judgment on Moab.

45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
    the fugitives stand helpless,
for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
    a blaze from the midst of Sihon;(A)
it burns the foreheads of Moab,
    the skulls(B) of the noisy boasters.
46 Woe to you, Moab!(C)
    The people of Chemosh are destroyed;
your sons are taken into exile
    and your daughters into captivity.

47 “Yet I will restore(D) the fortunes of Moab
    in days to come,”
declares the Lord.

Here ends the judgment on Moab.
