Jeremiah 48:43-45
Easy-to-Read Version
43 This is what the Lord says:
“People of Moab, fear, deep holes, and traps[a] wait for you.
44 People will be afraid and run away,
and they will fall into the deep holes.
Anyone who climbs out of the deep holes
will be caught in the traps.
I will bring the year of punishment to Moab.”
This is what the Lord said.
45 “People have run from the powerful enemy.
They ran to safety in the town of Heshbon.
But a fire started in Heshbon.
That fire started in Sihon’s town,[b]
and it is destroying the leaders of Moab.
It is destroying those proud people.
