Jeremiah 48:44
New English Translation
44 Anyone who flees at the sound of terror
will fall into a pit.
Anyone who climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a trap.[a]
For the time is coming
when I will punish the people of Moab.[b]
I, the Lord, affirm it![c]
Footnotes

- Jeremiah 48:44 tn Heb “For I will bring upon her, even upon Moab, the year of her punishment.”
- Jeremiah 48:44 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
