Jeremiah 48:1-5

1Concerning Moab. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Woe (judgment is coming) to [the city of] Nebo, for it has been destroyed! Kiriathaim has been shamed, it has been captured; Misgab [the high fortress] has been shamed, broken down and crushed.

2The glory of Moab is no more; In Heshbon they planned evil against her, Saying, ‘Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!’ You also, O [city of] Madmen, shall be silenced; The sword will pursue you.

3The sound of an outcry from Horonaim, ‘Desolation and great destruction!’

4Moab is destroyed; Her little ones have called out a cry of distress [to be heard as far as Zoar].

5For the Ascent of Luhith Will be climbed by [successive groups of] fugitives with continual weeping; For on the descent of Horonaim They have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
