Jeremiah 48:9-15

9Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste;1 her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.10Cursed is the one who is remiss in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.

11Moab has been at ease from youth,settled like wine on its dregs;he has not been poured from vessel to vesselor gone into exile.So his flavor has remained the same,and his aroma is unchanged.12Therefore behold, the days are coming,declares the LORD,when I will send to him wanderers,who will pour him out.They will empty his vesselsand shatter his jars.13Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh,just as the house of Israel was ashamedwhen they trusted in Bethel.
14How can you say, ‘We are warriors,mighty men ready for battle’?15Moab has been destroyedand its towns have been invaded;the best of its young menhave gone down in the slaughter,declares the King,whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
