Jeremiah 48:9-15

9Make Moab a salt marsh, for she will run away; her towns will become a desolation, without inhabitant.

10The one who does the Lord’s business deceitfully is cursed, and the one who withholds his sword from bloodshed is cursed.

11Moab has been left quiet since his youth, settled like wine on its dregs. He hasn’t been poured from one container to another or gone into exile. So his taste has remained the same, and his aroma hasn’t changed.

12Therefore look, the days are coming  — this is the Lord’s declaration — when I will send pourers to him, who will pour him out. They will empty his containers and smash his jars.

13Moab will be put to shame because of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was put to shame because of Bethel that they trusted in.

14How can you say, “We are warriors — valiant men for battle”?

15The destroyer of Moab and its towns has come up, and the best of its young men have gone down to slaughter. This is the King’s declaration; the Lord of Armies is his name.
