Text -- Jeremiah 48:39-47 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
48:39 Oh, how shattered Moab will be! Oh, how her people will wail ! Oh, how she will turn away in shame ! Moab will become an object of ridicule , a terrifying sight to all the nations that surround her.”
48:40 For the Lord says , “Look! Like an eagle with outspread wings a nation will swoop down on Moab .
48:41 Her towns will be captured . Her fortresses will be taken . At that time the soldiers of Moab will be frightened like a woman in labor .
48:42 Moab will be destroyed and no longer be a nation , because she has vaunted herself against the Lord .
48:43 Terror , pits , and traps are in store for the people who live in Moab . I, the Lord , affirm it!
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!
48:45 In the shadows of the walls of Heshbon those trying to escape will stand helpless . For a fire will burst forth from Heshbon . Flames will shoot out from the former territory of Sihon . They will burn the foreheads of the people of Moab , the skulls of those war-loving people .
48:46 Moab , you are doomed ! You people who worship Chemosh will be destroyed . Your sons will be taken away captive . Your daughters will be carried away into exile .
48:47 Yet in days to come I will reverse Moab’s ill fortune .” says the Lord . The judgment against Moab ends here .
