Isaiah 24:17-18

17 Terror, pit, and trap
for you, inhabitant of the earth!(A)

will fall into the pit;
One who climbs out of the pit
will be caught in the trap.
For the windows on high are open
and the foundations of the earth shake.(B)

enthroned Moab—oracle of the Lord.(A)

Ah, yes! I will bring these things upon Moab
in the year of their punishment—oracle of the Lord.
