Jeremiah 48:45-47
Good News Translation
45 Helpless refugees try to find protection in Heshbon, the city that King Sihon once ruled, but it is in flames.[a] Fire has burned up the frontiers and the mountain heights of the war-loving people of Moab. 46 Pity the people of Moab! The people who worshiped Chemosh have been destroyed, and their sons and daughters have been taken away as prisoners.
47 But in days to come the Lord will make Moab prosperous again. All of this is what the Lord has said will happen to Moab.

Jeremiah 48:45-47
New International Version
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.
