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

¹¹ Moab was tranquil from his youth, and he rested upon his lees, he was not poured out from vessel to vessel, and he went not into captivity: for this his taste stood in him, and his breath was not changed. ¹² For this, behold, the days coming, says Jehovah, and I sent to him those turning aside, and they turned aside, and they will empty his vessels and break his bottles. ¹³ And Moab was ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of the house of God their confidence.

¹⁴ How shall ye say, We are mighty and men of strength for war? ¹⁵ Moab was laid waste, and she went up from her cities, and the choice of his young men went down to the slaughter, says the King, Jehovah of armies, his name. ¹⁶ The calamity of Moab drew near, to come, and his evil hastened greatly. ¹⁷ All ye about him, bewail for him; and all ye knowing his name, say, How was the strong rod broken, the beautiful shoot!

¹⁸ Come down from thy glory, sit in thirst, thou daughter dwelling in Di-bon; for he laying Moab waste came up upon thee, destroying thy fortress. ¹⁹ Stand to the way and look about, thou inhabiting Aroer; ask him fleeing, and her escaping, say, What was it? ²⁰ Moab was ashamed; for she was broken down: wail, ye, and cry; announce in Arnon that Moab was laid waste,

²¹ And judgment came to the land of straightness; to Holon, and to Jahazah, and upon Mephaath, ²² And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon the house of cakes of figs, ²³ And upon the city of forests, and upon the house of the weaned, and upon the house of habitation, ²⁴ And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far off and near. ²⁵ The horn of Moab was cut off, and his arm was broken, says Jehovah.
