Jeremiah 48:10-12
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
10 Accursed is the one who is slack in doing the work of the Lord; and accursed is the one who keeps back the sword from bloodshed.
11 Moab has been at ease from his youth,
settled like wine[a] on its dregs;
he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
nor has he gone into exile;
therefore his flavour has remained
and his aroma is unspoiled.
12 Therefore, the time is surely coming, says the Lord, when I shall send to him decanters to decant him, and empty his vessels, and break his[b] jars in pieces.

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.
