Jeremiah

Jeremiah 48:11–13

¹¹Moab has been at ease from youth,

settled like wine on its dregs;

he has not been poured from vessel to vessel

or gone into exile.

So his flavor has remained the same,

and his aroma is unchanged.

¹²Therefore behold, the days are coming,

declares the LORD,

when I will send to him wanderers,

who will pour him out.

They will empty his vessels

and shatter his jars.

¹³Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh,

just as the house of Israel was ashamed

when they trusted in Bethel.
