✦ MADE SIMPLE

The people who ran away thought they'd be safe hiding in Heshbon's shadow, but here's the thing — fire is going to break out from that very city, flames spreading from Sihon's territory. It's going to consume Moab's borders and destroy those who stirred up all the chaos.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes the place you run to for safety becomes the source of your downfall.
