The King James Version Bible

Jeremiah 48:42-47

  1. And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.

  2. Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

  3. 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 it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

  4. They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

  5. Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.

  6. Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
