45 “In the shadow of Heshbon

the fugitives stand helpless,

for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,

a blaze from the midst of Sihon;

it burns the foreheads of Moab,

the skulls of the noisy boasters.

46 Woe to you, Moab!

The people of Chemosh are destroyed;

your sons are taken into exile

and your daughters into captivity.

47 “Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab

in days to come,”

declares the Lord.

Here ends the judgment on Moab.

45 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.

46 Woe be unto thee, O Moab!

The people of Chemosh perisheth:

For thy sons are taken captives,

And thy daughters captives.

47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab

In the latter days, saith the Lord.

Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

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 “What sorrow awaits you, O people of Moab!

The people of the god Chemosh are destroyed!

Your sons and your daughters

have been taken away as captives.

47 But 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.

45 “Those who fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon

Because of exhaustion.

But a fire shall come out of Heshbon,

A flame from the midst of Sihon,

And shall devour the brow of Moab,

The crown of the head of the sons of tumult.

46 Woe to you, O Moab!

The people of Chemosh perish;

For your sons have been taken captive,

And your daughters captive.

47 “Yet I will bring back the captives of Moab

In the latter days,” says the Lord.

Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

45 “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.

46 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.

47 “But in days to come,

I will make good things happen again to Moab,” says the Lord.

This ends the judgment on Moab.

45 They that fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. 46 Woe unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity. 47 Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon powerless; for a fire hath come forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath consumed the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult. 46 Woe to thee, Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away in captivity, and thy daughters are captives. 47 But I will turn the captivity of Moab at the end of the days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.

45 “Those who flee will stand exhausted in the shadow of Heshbon. 

A fire will come out of Heshbon and a flame from Sihon. 

It will burn the foreheads of the people of Moab 

and the skulls of those noisy people. 

46 How horrible it will be for you, Moab. 

You people of Chemosh will die. 

Your sons will be taken away into exile, 

and your daughters will be taken away into captivity. 

47 But I will restore Moab in the last days,” declares the Lord. 

The judgment against Moab ends here. 

45 Those who flee will stand exhausted in Heshbon’s shadow

because fire has come out from Heshbon

and a flame from within Sihon.

It will devour Moab’s forehead

and the skull of the noisemakers.

46 Woe to you, Moab!

The people of Chemosh have perished

because your sons have been taken captive

and your daughters have gone into captivity.

47 Yet, I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the last days.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

The judgment on Moab ends here.

45 In the shadow of Heshbon

fugitives stop exhausted;

for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,

a flame from the house of Sihon;

it has destroyed the forehead of Moab,

the scalp of the people of tumult.

46 Woe to you, O Moab!

The people of Chemosh have perished,

for your sons have been taken captive,

and your daughters into captivity.

47 Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab

in the latter days, says the Lord.

Thus far is the judgment on Moab.

45 “In the shadow of Heshbon

fugitives stand without strength,

for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,

and a flame from Sihon.

And it has eaten the forehead of Moab,

and the skulls of the people of tumult.

46 Woe to you, Moab!

The people of Chemosh have perished.

For your sons have been taken into captivity,

and your daughters into captivity.

47 Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab

in the last of the days,” declares Yahweh.

Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

45 “In the shadow of Heshbon

those who are trying to escape stand helpless.

A fire has blazed out from Heshbon.

Flames have come out from Sihon’s city.

It burns the foreheads of Moab’s people.

It burns the skulls of those who brag loudly.

46 How terrible it will be for you, Moab!

Those who worship Chemosh are destroyed.

Your sons are being taken to another country.

Your daughters are taken away as prisoners.

47 “But in days to come

I will bless Moab with great success again,”

announces the Lord.

That’s the report about how the Lord said he would judge Moab.

45 “In the shadow of Heshbon

The fugitives stand without strength;

For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon

And a flame from the midst of Sihon,

And it has devoured the forehead of Moab

And the scalps of the riotous revelers.

46 “Woe to you, Moab!

The people of Chemosh have perished;

For your sons have been taken away captive

And your daughters into captivity.

47 “Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab

In the latter days,” declares the Lord.

Thus far the judgment on Moab.
