Jeremiah 48:43-45
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jeremiah 48:43-45
Evangelical Heritage Version
43 Panic, pit, and peril[a] are before you,
you who live in Moab, declares the Lord.
44 Whoever flees from the panic will fall into the pit.
Whoever gets out of the pit will be trapped in the snare,
for I will bring on Moab the year of their punishment,
says the Lord.
45 Those who fled stand helpless under the shadow of Heshbon,
because a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
and a flame from the midst of Sihon.
It has burned the foreheads of Moab,
and the tops of the heads of those who boast.[b]
Footnotes
- Jeremiah 48:43 The Hebrew words pahad, pahat, and pah sound similar and are used for poetic effect. A bit of literalness is sacrificed in the rendering of pah to retain the effect. Pah is more literally trap.
- Jeremiah 48:45 Or it has burned Moab from its borders to the highest heights of those who boast
