Text -- Jeremiah 48:44 (NET)

48:44 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. For the time is coming when I will punish the people of Moab. I, the Lord, affirm it!

NET Notes: Jer 48:44

¹ sn Jer 48:43-44a are in the main the same as Isa 24:17-18 which shows that the judgment was somewhat proverbial. For a very similar kind of argumentation see Amos 5:19; judgment is unavoidable.

² tn Heb “For I will bring upon her, even upon Moab, the year of her punishment.”

³ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
