katapi HOME Jeremiah 48:40-47 - No escape for Moab.  Jr.48.40-4748 40 For thus says Yahweh:
"Behold, one shall fly swiftly like an eagle,
and spread his wings against Moab;
48 41 the cities shall be taken
and the strongholds seized.
The heart of the warriors of Moab shall be in that day
like the heart of a woman in her pangs;
48 42 Moab shall be destroyed and be no longer a people,
because he magnified himself against Yahweh.
48 43 Terror, pit, and snare
are before you, O inhabitant of Moab!
says Yahweh.
48 44 He who flees from the terror shall fall into the pit,
and he who climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the snare.
For I will bring these things upon Moab
in the year of their punishment,
says Yahweh.

48 45 "In the shadow of Heshbon
fugitives stop without strength;
for a fire has gone forth from Heshbon,
a flame from the house of Sihon;
it has destroyed the forehead of Moab,
the crown of the sons of tumult.
48 46 Woe to you, O Moab!
The people of Chemosh is undone;
for your sons have been taken captive,
and your daughters into captivity.
48 47 Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab
in the latter days, says Yahweh."
Thus far is the judgment on Moab.
