✦ MADE SIMPLE
If you run from what scares you, you'll fall into a trap. If you climb out of that trap, you'll get caught in another one. God says he's bringing judgment on Moab — their time is up, and there's nowhere to hide.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When God says your time is up, running just leads you into the next trap.
