17 ^aTerror and the pit and the snare ^{▼▼The Hebrew words for terror, pit, and snare sound alike}
are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 ^cHe who flees at the sound of the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and he who climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the snare.
For ^dthe windows of heaven are opened,
and ^ethe foundations of the earth tremble.

Isaiah 30:16

16 and you said,
“No! We will flee upon ^fhorses”;
therefore you shall flee away;
and, “We will ride upon swift steeds”;
therefore your pursuers shall be swift.

44 He who flees from the terror
shall fall into the pit,
and he who climbs out of the pit
shall be caught in the snare.
^gFor I will bring these things upon Moab,
the year of their punishment,

declares the Lord.

14 ^hFlight shall perish from the swift,
ⁱand the strong shall not retain his strength,
^jnor shall the mighty save his life;
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand,
and he who is ^kswift of foot shall not save himself,
^lnor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
