44“Those who flee in terror will fall into a trap,

and those who escape the trap will step into a snare.

I will see to it that you do not get away,

for the time of your judgment has come,”

says the Lord.

45“The people flee as far as Heshbon

but are unable to go on.

For a fire comes from Heshbon,

King Sihon’s ancient home,

to devour the entire land

with all its rebellious people.

46“O Moab, they weep for you!

The people of the god Chemosh are destroyed!

Your sons and your daughters

have been taken away as captives.

47But I will restore the fortunes of Moab

in days to come.

I, the Lord, have spoken!”

This is the end of Jeremiah’s prophecy concerning Moab.
