Context of Jeremiah 48:42
40The Lord says, ‘Look at the enemy that suddenly arrives! It comes like an eagle that flies down to catch its food. 41The enemy will take Moab's towns and its strong buildings. Moab's soldiers will be afraid, like a woman who will soon give birth. Moab has been proud and it has turned against the Lord. So they will no longer be a nation.’ 43The Lord says this: ‘People of Moab, there will be danger, deep holes and traps that are ready to catch you! 44Anyone who runs away from danger, will fall into a deep hole. And a trap will catch anyone who climbs out of the deep hole. Yes, the time will soon come when I will punish Moab's people.
