“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.

Jeremiah 48:45 in context
Jeremiah 48:42–47
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.

Selected verse
“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.
47
“Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,”
says the LORD.
Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
