Jeremiah 48:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

    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.

¹²Therefore, 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. ¹³Then Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
