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

¹¹ Moab hath ever been rich and careless from her youth up, she hath sitten and taken her ease with her treasure. She was never yet put out of one vessel into another, that is, she never went away into captivity, therefore her taste remaineth, and her savour is not yet changed. ¹² But lo, the time cometh, sayeth the LORD, that I shall send her trussers to truss her up, to prepare and season her vessels: yea her tankards rattle and shake to and fro. ¹³ And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, like as Israel was ashamed of Bethel, wherein she put her trust.

¹⁴ "Wherefore do ye think thus, 'We are mighty, and strong men of war'? ¹⁵ Moab shall be destroyed, her cities burnt up: her chosen young men shall be slain, sayeth the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts. ¹⁶ The destruction of Moab cometh on a pace, and her fall is at hand. ¹⁷ All her neighbours shall mourn for her, and all they that know her name, shall say, 'O how happeneth it, that the strong staff and the goodly rod is thus broken?'

¹⁸ And thou, daughter Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in poverty. For he that destroyeth Moab, shall come up to thee also, and break down thy strongholds. ¹⁹ And thou that dwellest in Aroer, get thee to the street, and look about thee: ask them that are fled and escaped, and say, 'What thing is happened?' ²⁰ O Moab is confounded and overcome. Mourn and cry, tell it out at Arnon, that Moab is destroyed.

²¹ And misery shall come upon the plain land: Namely, upon Holon, and Jahzah, upon Mephaath ²² and Dibon, upon Nebo, and the house of Diblathaim, ²³ upon Kiriathaim and Bethgamul, upon Bethmeon, ²⁴ and Kerioth, upon Bozrah and all the cities of the land of Moab, whether they lie far or near. ²⁵ The horn of Moab shall be smitten down, and her arm broken, sayeth the LORD.
