Jeremiah 48:43
Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,” declares the LORD.
BSB
ASV
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah.
KJV
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee,.... A proverbial expression, showing, that if they escaped one danger, or sore judgment, they should fall into another and greater: the words seem to be taken from Isa 24:17; See Gill on Isa 24:17; O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord; what in the prophecy of Isaiah is said of the inhabitants of the earth in general, is here applied to the inhabitants of Moab in particular.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
