Jeremiah 48:16-25

16“Moab’s destruction is coming near; disaster is coming quickly.

17Mourn over it, all of its neighbors and everyone who knows its fame. Say, ‘Look at the strong staff, the beautiful rod, that is broken!’

18“People of Dibon, come down from your place of honor and sit on the dry ground. The destroyers of Moab will attack you. They will destroy your fortresses.

19Stand by the road in Aroer, and watch. Ask those who are fleeing and those who are escaping what is happening.

20They will answer, ‘Moab is disgraced; it is defeated. Shout loudly, and cry. Tell the news in Arnon that Moab is destroyed.’

21“Judgment has come to all the cities on the plain: to Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath,

22Dibon, Nebo, Beth Diblathaim,

23Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, Beth Meon,

24Kerioth, Bozrah, and on all the cities of Moab, far and near.

25“Moab’s horn is cut off, and its arm is broken,” declares the Lord.
