Jeremiah 48:44

Anyone who flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit. Anyone who climbs out of the pit will be caught in a trap. ¹  For the time is coming when I will punish the people of Moab. ²  I, the Lord, affirm it! ³ 

1Ki 19:17; 1Ki 20:30; Isa 10:3; Isa 37:36-38; Jer 8:12; Jer 10:15; Jer 11:23; Jer 16:16; Jer 23:12; Jer 46:21; Jer 51:18; Ho 9:7; Am 2:14,15; Am 5:19; Am 9:1-4; Mic 7:4

¹ sn Jer 48:43-44a are in the main the same as Isa 24:17-18 which shows that the judgment was somewhat proverbial. For a very similar kind of argumentation see Amos 5:19; judgment is unavoidable.

² tn Heb “For I will bring upon her, even upon Moab, the year of her punishment.”

³ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
