43. Terror, pit, and trap be upon you,enthroned Moab—oracle of the Lord.
44. Those fleeing the terrorfall into the pit;Those climbing out of the pitare caught in the trap;Ah, yes! I will bring these things upon Moabin the year of their punishment—oracle of the Lord.
45. In Heshbon’s shadow the fugitivesstop short, exhausted;For fire blazes up from Heshbon,and flames up from the house of Sihon:It consumes the forehead of Moab,the scalp of the noisemakers.
46. Woe to you, Moab!You are finished, people of Chemosh!Your sons are taken into exile,your daughters into captivity.
47. Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moabin the days to come—oracle of the Lord.Thus far the judgment on Moab.
