Inescapable Doom and Future Hope
Jeremiah 48:40-47
40
For thus saith the Lord, Beholde, he shall flee as an eagle, and shall spread his wings ouer Moab.
41
The cities are taken, and the strong holdes are wonne, and ye mightie mens hearts in Moab at that day shalbe as ye heart of a woman in trauaile.
42
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath set vp himselfe against the Lord.
43
Feare, and pit and snare shall be vpon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
44
He that escapeth from the feare, shall fall in the pit, and he that getteth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring vpon it, euen vpon Moab, the yeere of their visitation, sayeth the Lord.
45
They that fled, stoode vnder the shadowe of Heshbon, because of the force: for the fire came out of Heshbon, and a flame from Sihon, and deuoured the corner of Moab, and the top of the seditious children.
46
Wo be vnto thee, O Moab: the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sonnes are taken captiues, and thy daughters led into captiuitie.
47
Yet will I bring againe the captiuitie of Moab in the latter dayes, sayeth the Lord. Thus farre of the iudgement of Moab.
