Jeremiah 48:16-25

16“The calamity of Moab is near at hand, And his affliction comes quickly.

17Bemoan him, all you who are around him; And all you who know his name, Say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, The beautiful rod!’

18“O daughter inhabiting Dibon, Come down from your glory, And sit in thirst; For the plunderer of Moab has come against you, He has destroyed your strongholds.

19O inhabitant of Aroer, Stand by the way and watch; Ask him who flees And her who escapes; Say, ‘What has happened?’

20Moab is shamed, for he is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it in Arnon, that Moab is plundered.

21“And judgment has come on the plain country: On Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath,

22On Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,

23On Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,

24On Kerioth and Bozrah, On all the cities of the land of Moab, Far or near.

25The horn of Moab is cut off, And his arm is broken,” says the Lord.
