Jeremiah 48:18-25

18Come down from your place of honor; sit on the dry ground, you who live in Dibon. For the one who will destroy Moab will attack you; he will destroy your fortifications.

19You who live in Aroer, stand by the road and watch. Question the man who is fleeing and the woman who is escaping. Ask them, ‘What has happened?’

20They will answer, ‘Moab is disgraced, for it has fallen! Wail and cry out in mourning! Announce along the Arnon River that Moab has been destroyed.’

21“Judgment will come on the cities on the high plain: on Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,

22on Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,

23on Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,

24on Kerioth and Bozrah. It will come on all the towns of Moab, both far and near.

25Moab’s might will be crushed. Its power will be broken. I, the Lord, affirm it!
