Jeremiah 48:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸The destroyer shall come upon every town,
    and no town shall escape;
the valley shall perish,
    and the plain shall be destroyed,
    as the Lord has spoken.

⁹Set aside salt for Moab,
for she will surely fall;
her towns shall become a desolation,
with no inhabitant in them.

¹⁰Accursed 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.
