Jeremiah 48:8-10

Revised Standard Version

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

⁹“Give wings to Moab,
for she would fly away;
her cities shall become a desolation,
with no inhabitant in them.

¹⁰“Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord with slackness; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed.
