not poured from one jar to another—
    she has not gone into exile.
So she tastes as she did,

12 But days are coming,”

“when I will send men who pour from pitchers,
    and they will pour her out;
they will empty her pitchers

13 Then Moab will be ashamed(I) of Chemosh,(J)
    as Israel was ashamed

  1. Jeremiah 48:4 Hebrew; Septuagint / proclaim it to Zoar

The Lord is angry with all nations;
    his wrath(A) is on all their armies.
He will totally destroy[a](B) them,
    he will give them over to slaughter.(C)
Their slain(D) will be thrown out,
    their dead bodies(E) will stink;(F)
    the mountains will be soaked with their blood.(G)
All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(H)
    and the heavens rolled up(I) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(J)
    like withered(K) leaves from the vine,
    like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

My sword(L) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
    see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(M)
    the people I have totally destroyed.(N)
The sword(O) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
    it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
    fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice(P) in Bozrah(Q)
    and a great slaughter(R) in the land of Edom.
And the wild oxen(S) will fall with them,
    the bull calves and the great bulls.(T)
Their land will be drenched with blood,(U)
    and the dust will be soaked with fat.

For the Lord has a day(V) of vengeance,(W)
    a year of retribution,(X) to uphold Zion’s cause.
