Jeremiah 48:42-47

Jeremiah 48:42-47 NCV

The nation of Moab will be destroyed, because they thought they were greater than the LORD. Fear, deep pits, and traps wait for you, people of Moab,” says the LORD. “People will run from fear, but they will fall into the pits. Anyone who climbs out of the pits will be caught in the traps. I will bring the year of punishment to Moab,” says the LORD. “People have run from the powerful enemy and have gone to Heshbon for safety. But fire started in Heshbon; a blaze has spread from the hometown of Sihon king of Moab. It burned up the leaders of Moab and destroyed those proud people. How terrible it is for you, Moab! The people who worship Chemosh have been destroyed. Your sons have been taken captive, and your daughters have been taken away. “But in days to come, I will make good things happen again to Moab,” says the LORD. This ends the judgment on Moab.
