Jeremiah 48:11-25 - The Cities Of Moab Are Destroyed

¹¹ Moab has been at ease from his youth. He has been undisturbed like wine on its dregs and not poured from vessel to vessel. He has not gone into exile. Therefore, his flavor has remained, and his aroma has not changed. ¹² "Therefore, look, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I'll send those who tip over vessels to him, and they'll tip him over. They'll empty his vessels and shatter his jars. ¹³ Moab will be ashamed because of Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed because of Bethel, their confidence.

¹⁴ "How can you say, "We're strong warriors, and soldiers ready for battle'? ¹⁵ Moab will be destroyed, and the enemy will come up against her cities. Her finest young men will go down to slaughter," declares the King, whose name is the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. ¹⁶ "Moab's disaster is near at hand, and his calamity is coming very quickly. ¹⁷ Mourn for him, all who live around him, and all who know his name. Say, "Oh how the mighty rod is broken, the glorious staff.'

¹⁸ "Come down from glory, and sit on parched ground, O woman who lives in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab will come up against you to destroy you. He will destroy your strongholds. ¹⁹ Stand by the road and keep watch, O woman who lives in Aroer. Ask the man who flees and the woman who escapes. Say, "What happened'? ²⁰ Moab will be put to shame, for it will be destroyed. Wail and cry out. Announce by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.

²¹ Judgment has come to the plateau: to Holon and Jahzah, and against Mephaath, ²² Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim, ²³ against Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon, ²⁴ against Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns in the land of Moab, both far and near. ²⁵ The strength of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken," declares the LORD.
