Jeremiah 48:16-25

16“Destruction is coming fast for Moab; calamity threatens ominously.

17You friends of Moab, weep for him and cry! See how the strong scepter is broken, how the beautiful staff is shattered!

18“Come down from your glory and sit in the dust, you people of Dibon, for those who destroy Moab will shatter Dibon, too. They will tear down all your towers.

19You people of Aroer, stand beside the road and watch. Shout to those who flee from Moab, ‘What has happened there?’

20“And the reply comes back, ‘Moab lies in ruins, disgraced; weep and wail! Tell it by the banks of the Arnon River: Moab has been destroyed!’

21Judgment has been poured out on the towns of the plateau— on Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,

22on Dibon and Nebo and Beth-diblathaim,

23on Kiriathaim and Beth-gamul and Beth-meon,

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

25“The strength of Moab has ended. His arm has been broken,” says the Lord.
