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 - (note, Isaiah 24:17-18). "Fear" is the technical term for the cord with feathers of various colours which, when fluttered in the air, scare birds into the snare, and beasts into the pitfall.

Verse 44. He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit. When thou thinkest thou hast escaped one kind of danger a fresh one will start up.
