43 Terror(A) and pit and snare(B) await you,
    you people of Moab,”
declares the Lord.
44 “Whoever flees(C) from the terror
    will fall into a pit,
whoever climbs out of the pit
    will be caught in a snare;
for I will bring on Moab
    the year(D) of her punishment,”
declares the Lord.

45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
    the fugitives stand helpless,
for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
    a blaze from the midst of Sihon;(E)
it burns the foreheads of Moab,
    the skulls(F) of the noisy boasters.
