how hath Moab{H4124} turned{H6437}{(H8689)} the back{H6203} with shame{H954}{(H8804)}! so shall Moab{H4124} be a derision{H7814} and a dismaying{H4288} to all them about{H5439} him. 40 For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Behold, he shall fly{H1675}{(H8799)} as an eagle{H5404}, and shall spread{H6566}{(H8804)} his wings{H3671} over Moab{H4124}. 41 Kerioth{H7152} is taken{H3920}{(H8738)}, and the strong holds{H4679} are surprised{H8610}{(H8738)}, and the mighty men's{H1368} hearts{H3820} in Moab{H4124} at that day{H3117} shall be as the heart{H3820} of a woman{H802} in her pangs{H6887}{(H8688)}. 42 And Moab{H4124} shall be destroyed{H8045}{(H8738)} from being a people{H5971}, because he hath magnified{H1431}{(H8689)} himself against the LORD{H3068}. 43 Fear{H6343}, and the pit{H6354}, and the snare{H6341}, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant{H3427}{(H8802)} of Moab{H4124}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 44 He that fleeth{H5127}{(H8801)}{(H8675)}{H5211} from{H6440} the fear{H6343} shall fall{H5307}{(H8799)} into the pit{H6354}; and he that getteth up{H5927}{(H8802)} out of the pit{H6354} shall be taken{H3920}{(H8735)} in the snare{H6341}: for I will bring{H935}{(H8686)} upon it, even upon Moab{H4124}, the year{H8141} of their visitation{H6486}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 45 They that fled{H5127}{(H8801)} stood{H5975}{(H8804)} under the shadow{H6738} of Heshbon{H2809} because of the force{H3581}: but a fire{H784} shall come forth{H3318}{(H8804)} out of Heshbon{H2809}, and a flame{H3852} from the midst{H996} of Sihon{H5511}, and shall devour{H398}{(H8799)} the corner{H6285} of Moab{H4124}, and the crown of the head{H6936} of the tumultuous{H7588} ones{H1121}. 46 Woe{H188} be unto thee, O Moab{H4124}! the people{H5971} of Chemosh{H3645} perisheth{H6}{(H8804)}: for thy sons{H1121} are taken{H3947}{(H8795)} captives{H7628}, and thy daughters{H1323} captives{H7633}. 47 Yet will I bring again{H7725}{(H8804)} the captivity{H7622} of Moab{H4124} in the latter{H319} days{H3117}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.
