Jeremiah 48:45 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

45“In the shadow of Heshbon

the fugitives stand helpless,

for a fire has gone out from Heshbon,

a blaze from the midst of Sihon;

it burns the foreheads of Moab,

the skulls of the noisy boasters.

45¶“In the shadow of Heshbon

The fugitives stand without strength;

For a fire has spread out from Heshbon

And a flame from the midst of Sihon,

And it has devoured the forehead of Moab

And the scalps of the 48:45 Lit sons of uproarloud revelers.

45“In the shadow of Heshbon

The fugitives stand without strength;

For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon

And a flame from the midst of Sihon,

And it has devoured the forehead of Moab

And the scalps of the riotous revelers.

45¶“In the shadow of Heshbon

The fugitives stand powerless [helpless and without strength],

For a fire has gone out from Heshbon,

A flame from the midst of Sihon;

It has destroyed the forehead of Moab

And the crowns of the heads of [the arrogant Moabites] the ones in tumult.

45“Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow,

because fire has gone forth from Heshbon

and a flame from within Sihon.

It devours the foreheads of Moab

and the skulls of the sons of tumult.

45“In the shadow of Heshbon

those who are trying to escape stand helpless.

A fire has blazed out from Heshbon.

Flames have come out from Sihon’s city.

It burns the foreheads of Moab’s people.

It burns the skulls of those who brag loudly.
