41 Kerioth has been captured,and the strongholds have been seized,and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab in that daywill be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moab will be destroyed from being a peoplebecause he has magnified himself against the Lord.
43 Fear and the pit and the snare will be upon you,O inhabitant of Moab,says the Lord.
44 He who flees from the terrorshall fall into the pit,and he who gets up out of the pitwill be taken in the snare;for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab,the year of their punishment,says the Lord.
45 The fugitives stand without strengthunder the shadow of Heshbon;for a fire will come out of Heshbonand a flame from the midst of Sihon,and will devour the forehead of Moaband the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Woe to you, O Moab!The people of Chemosh have perished;for your sons have been taken away captiveand your daughters into captivity.
47 Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moabin the latter days,says the Lord.Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
