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

¹¹ Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into exile. Therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed. ¹² Therefore behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will send pourers to him, who shall pour him off, and his vessels shall empty, and shatter their jars. ¹³ And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their hope.

¹⁴ How do you say, We are mighty and strong men for war? ¹⁵ Moab is plundered and has come up out of her cities. And his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King whose name is Jehovah of Hosts. ¹⁶ The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast. ¹⁷ All you who are around him, mourn him. And all you who know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!

¹⁸ O dweller, daughter of Dibon, come down from your glory and sit in thirst. For the ravager of Moab shall come on you; he shall destroy your strongholds. ¹⁹ O dweller of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees and her who escapes; say, What is happening? ²⁰ Moab is put to shame, for it is broken down. Howl and cry! Tell it in Arnon that Moab is stripped.

²¹ And judgment has come on the plain country; on Holon, and on Jahazah, and on Mephaath, ²² and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim, ²³ and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon, ²⁴ and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. ²⁵ The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Jehovah.
