40. For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread forth his wings over Moab.
41. Kerijoth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42. And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against Jehovah.
43. Fear, and the pit, and the snare shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah.
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 her, upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah.
45. They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon powerless; for a fire hath come forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath consumed the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult.
46. Woe to thee, Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away in captivity, and thy daughters are captives.
47. But I will turn the captivity of Moab at the end of the days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.
