Context of Jeremiah 48:13

11“Moab has lived securely ever since it was young. Its people are like wine left to settle in a jar. They aren’t poured from one jar to another. They haven’t gone into captivity. That is why its flavor has remained the same, and its aroma hasn’t changed. 12That is why the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will send people to pour Moab out of its jars and to smash its pitchers. Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh as the nation of Israel was ashamed when it trusted Bethel. 14“How can you say, ‘We are soldiers and warriors’? 15The enemy will attack Moab and destroy its cities. Its finest young men will be slaughtered,” declares the king, whose name is the Lord of Armies.
