New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Jeremiah 48
⁴¹ "Kerioth has been captured And the strongholds have been seized, So the hearts of the mighty men of Moab in that day Will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
⁴² "Moab will be destroyed from being a people Because he has become arrogant toward the Lord.
⁴³ "Terror, pit and snare are coming upon you, O inhabitant of Moab," declares the Lord.
⁴⁴ "The one who flees from the terror Will fall into the pit, And the one who climbs up out of the pit Will be caught in the snare; For I shall bring upon her, even upon Moab, The year of their punishment," declares the Lord.
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.
⁴⁶ "Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; For your sons have been taken away captive And your daughters into captivity.
⁴⁷ "Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab In the latter days," declares the Lord. Thus far the judgment on Moab.
Jeremiah 49
¹ Concerning the sons of Ammon. Thus says the Lord: "Does Israel have no sons? Or has he no heirs? Why then has Malcam taken possession of Gad And his people settled in its cities?
² "Therefore behold, the days are coming," declares the Lord, "That I will cause a trumpet blast of war to be heard Against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon; And it will become a desolate heap, And her towns will be set on fire. Then Israel will take possession of his possessors," Says the Lord.
³ "Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been destroyed! Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah, Gird yourselves with sackcloth and lament, And rush back and forth inside the walls; For Malcam will go into exile Together with his priests and his princes.
⁴ "How boastful you are about the valleys! Your valley is flowing away, O backsliding daughter Who trusts in her treasures, saying, ’Who will come against me?’
