Context
42Moab will be destroyed as a nation
because he vaunted himself against the LORD. 43Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,”
declares the LORD. 44“Whoever flees the panic
will fall into the pit,
and whoever climbs from the pit
will be caught in the snare.
For I will bring upon Moab
the year of their punishment,”
declares the LORD. 45“Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow,
because fire has gone forth from Heshbon
and a flame from within Sihon.
It devours the foreheads of Moab
and the skulls of the sons of tumult. 46Woe to you, O Moab!
The people of Chemosh have perished;
for your sons have been taken into exile
and your daughters have gone into captivity.
