Jeremiah 48:43-44

[43] Fear,  and the pit,  and the snare,  shall be upon thee, O inhabitant  of Moab,  saith  the LORD.  [44] from  the fear  shall fall  into the pit;  and he that getteth up  out of the pit  shall be taken  in the snare:  for I will bring  upon it, even upon Moab,  the year  of their visitation,  saith  the LORD. 

What does Jeremiah 48:43-44 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Escape would be unavoidable. If a person escaped one form of judgment, another one would get him. The Lord"s devices would trap the people just as certainly as hunters used terror, pits, and snares to capture animals. This would happen at the Lord"s appointed time. The three snares all begin with the same letters in Hebrew, forming a triple assonance.
