Jeremiah 48:13

A Message Concerning Moab

¹² Therefore look, the days are coming—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
when I will send those to him, who will pour him out.
They will empty his containers
and smash his jars.
¹³ Moab will be put to shame because of Chemosh,
just as the house of Israel was put to shame
because of Bethel that they trusted in. ¹⁴ How can you say, “We are warriors—
mighty men ready for battle”?
