Berean Standard Bible

Jeremiah 48:16-25

16Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.17Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered— the glorious staff!

18Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground,O daughter dwelling in Dibon,for the destroyer of Moab has come against you;he has destroyed your fortresses.19Stand by the road and watch,O dweller of Aroer!Ask the man fleeing or the woman escaping,‘What has happened?’20Moab is put to shame, for it has been shattered.Wail and cry out!Declare by the Arnonthat Moab is destroyed.

21Judgment has come upon the high plain—upon Holon, Jahzah,1 and Mephaath,22upon Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,23upon Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,24upon Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of Moab,those far and near.

25The horn of Moab has been cut off,and his arm is broken,”declares the LORD.
