Jeremiah 48:9-15

9“Give wings to Moab, That she may flee and get away; For her cities shall be desolate, Without any to dwell in them.

10Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully, And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

11“Moab has been at ease from his youth; He has settled on his dregs, And has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, Nor has he gone into captivity. Therefore his taste remained in him, And his scent has not changed.

12“Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “That I shall send him wine-workers Who will tip him over And empty his vessels And break the bottles.

13Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, As the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.

14“How can you say, ‘We are mighty And strong men for the war’?

15Moab is plundered and gone up from her cities; Her chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, Whose name is the Lord of hosts.
