Jeremiah 48:43-45

New Catholic Bible

⁴³ Terror, the pit, and the snare await you,
    O inhabitants of Moab, says the Lord.
⁴⁴ Everyone who flees from the terror
    will fall into the pit,
and everyone who climbs out of the pit
    will be caught in the snare.
For I will bring all this upon Moab
    in the year of her punishment, says the Lord.
⁴⁵ In the shadow of Heshbon,
    the fugitives stop in exhaustion.
For a fire has blazed forth from Heshbon,
    and flames from the house of Sihon,
consuming the brow of Moab
    and the skulls of the noisy revelers.^[a]
