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, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, said the Lord, that I will send unto him captors that shall take him captive and shall empty his vessels and break his wineskins.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14 How do ye say, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
15 Moab is spoiled, and his cities destroyed, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, said the King whose name is the Lord of the hosts.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hastens fast.
17 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken: the beautiful rod!
