Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah.
He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon him, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah.
{Or, Fleeing because of the force, they stand under}They that fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; {Or, but}for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
Woe unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity.
Yet will I {Or, return to}bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
