Jeremiah 48:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord [b]negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11 Moab hath been at rest from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been [c]poured from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 ¶ Therefore behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send unto him such as shall carry him away, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.

- Jeremiah 48:10 He showeth that God would punish the Chaldeans, if they did not destroy the Egyptians, and that with a courage, and calleth this executing of his vengeance against his enemies, his work: though the Chaldeans sought another end, Isa. 10:11.
- Jeremiah 48:10 Or, deceitfully.
- Jeremiah 48:11 Hath not been removed as the Jews have, but have lived at ease, and as a wine that feedeth itself on his lees.

New International Version
Jeremiah 48:10-12
New International Version
10 “A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work!
A curse on anyone who keeps their sword(A) from bloodshed!(B)
11 “Moab has been at rest(C) from youth,
like wine left on its dregs,(D)
not poured from one jar to another—
she has not gone into exile.
So she tastes as she did,
and her aroma is unchanged.
12 But days are coming,”
declares the Lord,
“when I will send men who pour from pitchers,
and they will pour her out;
they will empty her pitchers
and smash her jars.
