Jeremiah 48:13 in context

Jeremiah 48:10–16

10

“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
