Jeremiah 48:41 in context

Jeremiah 48:38–44

38

On all the housetops of Moab,

and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere;

for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.

39

“How it is broken down!

How they wail!

How Moab has turned the back with shame!

So will Moab become a derision

and a terror to all who are around him.”

40

For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle,

and will spread out his wings against Moab.

41
Selected verse

Kerioth is taken,

and the strongholds are seized.

The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day

will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

42

Moab will be destroyed from being a people,

because he has magnified himself against the LORD.

43

Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you,

inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.

44

“He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit;

and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare,

for I will bring on him, even on Moab,

the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
