New King James Version

Jeremiah 48:43-47 New King James Version (NKJV)

43. Fear and the pit and the snare shall be upon you,O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord.

44. “He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit,And he who gets out of the pit shall be caught in the snare.For upon Moab, upon it I will bringThe year of their punishment,” says the Lord.

45. “Those who fled stood under the shadow of HeshbonBecause of exhaustion.But a fire shall come out of Heshbon,A flame from the midst of Sihon,And shall devour the brow of Moab,The crown of the head of the sons of tumult.

46. Woe to you, O Moab!The people of Chemosh perish;For your sons have been taken captive,And your daughters captive.

47. “Yet I will bring back the captives of MoabIn the latter days,” says the Lord.Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
