44. “Whoever flees from a disaster will fall into a pit.Whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a trap.I will bring a year of punishment to Moab,” declares the Lord.
45. “Those who flee will stand exhausted in the shadow of Heshbon.A fire will come out of Heshbon and a flame from Sihon.It will burn the foreheads of the people of Moaband the skulls of those noisy people.
46. How horrible it will be for you, Moab.You people of Chemosh will die.Your sons will be taken away into exile,and your daughters will be taken away into captivity.
47. But I will restore Moab in the last days,” declares the Lord.The judgment against Moab ends here.
