41 Kerioth will be taken, and the strongholds will be conquered, and the hearts of the warriors of Moab will be on that day like the heart of a woman who is in labor.
42 And Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because against Yahweh he magnified himself.
43 Dread, and pit, and a trapping net are against you, O inhabitant of Moab,” declares Yahweh.
44 “He who flees before the dread will fall into the pit, and the one who climbs up from the pit will be caught in the trapping net, for I will bring on Moab the year of their punishment,” declares Yahweh.
45 “In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives stand without strength, for a fire has gone out from Heshbon, and a flame from Sihon. And it has eaten the forehead of Moab, and the skulls of the people of tumult.
46 Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished. For your sons have been taken into captivity, and your daughters into captivity.
47 Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the last of the days,” declares Yahweh. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
