43 (A)Terror, pit, and snare are coming upon you,
Inhabitant of Moab,” declares the Lord.
44 “The one who (B)flees from the terror
Will fall into the pit,
And the one who climbs up out of the pit
Will be caught in the snare;
For I will bring upon her, upon Moab,
The year of their (C)punishment,” declares the Lord.

45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
The fugitives stand without strength;
For a fire has spread out from Heshbon
And a (D)flame from the midst of (E)Sihon,
And it has devoured the (F)forehead of Moab
And the scalps of the [a]loud revelers.
46 (G)Woe to you, Moab!
The people of (H)Chemosh have perished;
For your sons have been taken away captive,
And your daughters into captivity.
47 Yet I will (I)restore the fortunes of Moab
In the [b]latter days,” declares the Lord.

This is the extent of the judgment on Moab.

    you people of Moab,”
declares the Lord.

whoever climbs out of the pit
    will be caught in a snare;
for I will bring on Moab
    the year(D) of her punishment,”

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.
46 Woe to you, Moab!(G)
    The people of Chemosh are destroyed;
your sons are taken into exile
    and your daughters into captivity.

    in days to come,”

43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.

44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into 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 of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

46 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.

47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

Their tent (A)curtains, all their goods and their (B)camels,
And they will call out to one another, ‘(C)Horror on every side!’
