Jeremiah 48:43 in context

Jeremiah 48:40–46

40

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

and will spread out his wings against Moab.

41

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
Selected verse

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.

45

“Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon;

for a fire has gone out of Heshbon,

and a flame from the middle of Sihon,

and has devoured the corner of Moab,

and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

46

Woe to you, O Moab!

The people of Chemosh are undone;

for your sons are taken away captive,

and your daughters into captivity.
