Jeremiah 48:16-25

16“The destruction of Moab will come soon, And his disaster hurries quickly.

17Show sympathy for him, all you [nations] who are around him, And all you [distant nations] who know his name; Say, ‘How has the mighty scepter [of national power] been broken, And the splendid staff [of glory]!’

18Come down from your glory, O Daughter living in Dibon, And sit on the parched ground [among the thirsty]! For the destroyer of Moab has advanced against you; He has destroyed your strongholds.

19O inhabitant of Aroer, Stand by the road and keep watch! Ask [of] him who flees and [ask of] her who escapes, Saying, ‘What has happened?’

20Moab is shamed, for she has been broken down and shattered. Wail and cry out! Tell by [the banks of] the Arnon That Moab has been destroyed.

21“Judgment has come on [the land of] the plain—upon Holon, Jahzah, and against Mephaath,

22against Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,

23against Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,

24against Kerioth, Bozrah and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.

25The horn (strength) of Moab has been cut off and his arm [of authority] is shattered,” says the Lord.
