Context of Jeremiah 48:43

41Kerioth has been captured And the strongholds have been seized, So the hearts of the warriors of Moab on that day Will be like the heart of a woman in labor. 42Moab will be destroyed from being a people Because he has become arrogant toward the Lord. Terror, pit, and snare are coming upon you, 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 will bring upon her, 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 spread out from Heshbon And a flame from the midst of Sihon, And it has devoured the forehead of Moab And the scalps of the loud revelers.
