44 He that escapeth from the fear, shall fall in the pit, and he that getteth up out of the pit, shall be taken [in] the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

45 They that fled, stood under the shadow [b]of Heshbon, because of the force: for [c]the fire came out of Heshbon, and a flame from Sihon, and devoured the corner of Moab, and the top of the seditious children.
