Jeremiah 48:10 in context

Jeremiah 48:7–13

7

For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures,

you also will be taken.

Chemosh will go out into captivity,

his priests and his princes together.

8

The destroyer will come on every city,

and no city will escape;

the valley also will perish,

and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.

9

Give wings to Moab,

that she may fly and get herself away:

and her cities will become a desolation,

without anyone to dwell in them.

10
Selected verse

“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently;

and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

11

“Moab has been at ease from his youth,

and he has settled on his dregs,

and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,

neither has he gone into captivity;

therefore his taste remains in him,

and his scent is not changed.

12

Therefore 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.

13

Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh,

as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
