Jeremiah 48:11-23 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

11. Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remaineth in him, and his scent is not changed.

12. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send unto him them that pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.

13. And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.

14. How say ye, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?

15. Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into her cities; and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

16. The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.

17. All ye that are round about him, bemoan him, and all ye that know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!

18. O thou daughter that dwellest in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, he hath destroyed thy strong holds.

19. O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy: ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What hath been done?

20. Moab is put to shame; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.

21. And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;

22. and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;

23. and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;
