Jeremiah 48:9-15

9Give wings to Moab, for she must fly and get away. Her cities will become a wasteland, with no one living in them.

10Cursed is the one who does the work of Adonai with slackness, and cursed is the one who withholds his sword from blood.

11Moab has been at ease since his youth. He has settled like wine on its dregs. He has not been emptied from jar to jar, nor gone into exile. Therefore he retains his flavor, and his aroma has not changed.

12Therefore behold, days are coming” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “when I will send to him those who will tip him up and over, and they will empty his vessels, and smash his jars in pieces.

13So Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

14How can you say: ‘We are warriors and men valiant for battle’?

15Moab is ravaged, its towns entered, its choice young men gone down to slaughter” —It is a declaration of the King, whose Name is Adonai-Tzva’ot.
