Jeremiah 48:15-20

15The destroyer of aMoab and his cities has come up,
and the choicest of his young men have bgone down to slaughter,
declares cthe King, dwhose name is the Lord of hosts.
16The calamity of Moab is near at hand,
and his affliction hastens swiftly.
17 eGrieve for him, all you who are around him,
and all who know his name;
say, fHow the mighty scepter is broken,
the glorious staff.’
18 g“Come down from your glory,
and sit on the parched ground,
O inhabitant of hDibon!
For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you;
he has destroyed your strongholds.
19 iStand by the way jand watch,
O inhabitant of kAroer!
Ask him who flees and her who escapes;
say, ‘What has happened?’
20Moab is put to shame, for it is broken;
lwail and cry!
Tell it beside mthe Arnon,
that nMoab is laid waste.
