44 People will be afraid and run away,
    and they will fall into the deep holes.
Anyone who climbs out of the deep holes
    will be caught in the traps.
I will bring the year of punishment to Moab.”
    This is what the Lord said.

45 “People have run from the powerful enemy.
    They ran to safety in the town of Heshbon.
But a fire started in Heshbon.
    That fire started in Sihon’s town,[a]
and it is destroying the leaders of Moab.
    It is destroying those proud people.
46 It will be bad for you, Moab.
    Chemosh’s people are being destroyed.
Your sons and daughters are being taken away
    as prisoners and captives.
