Context of Jeremiah 48:13

11The Lord said, ‘Moab's people have lived in peace since they first became a nation. No enemy has taken them away to a foreign land as their prisoners. They have been like the wine in a bottle that nobody has moved. Nobody has poured it into another bottle, so its taste and smell have never changed. Moab has always been the same. 12But the time will soon come when I will send people to attack Moab. They will pour out Moab's people like somebody pours wine out of a bottle. They will pour out all the wine so that the bottles are empty. And they will break the bottles into pieces! Then Moab's people will be ashamed because their god Chemosh has not saved them. They will be like the Israelites who trusted in their idol at Bethel and they became ashamed. 14Men of Moab, you should no longer say, “We are brave soldiers who know how to fight.” 15I am the King, the Lord Almighty, and I tell you this: The enemy will soon destroy Moab and its cities. They will kill its strongest young men.
