Jeremiah

¹²Therefore behold, the days come,” says the Lord,“that I will send to him those who pour off,and they will pour him off;and they will empty his vessels,and break their containers in pieces. ¹³Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh,as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence. ¹⁴“How do you say, ‘We are mighty men,and valiant men for the war?’ ¹⁵Moab is laid waste,and they have gone up into his cities,and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,”says the King, whose name is the Lord of Hosts. ¹⁶“The calamity of Moab is near to come,and his affliction hurries fast. ¹⁷All you who are around him, bemoan him,and all you who know his name; say,‘How the strong staff is broken,the beautiful rod!’ ¹⁸“You daughter who dwells in Dibon,come down from your glory,and sit in thirst;for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you.He has destroyed your strongholds.
