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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
