the sword shall pursue you.

O inhabitants of Moab!
Be (B)like the dove that nests

Jeremiah 48:30-32
English Standard Version
30 I know his insolence, declares the Lord;
(A)his boasts are false,
his deeds are false.
31 (B)Therefore I wail for Moab;
I cry out for all Moab;
for the men of (C)Kir-hareseth I mourn.
32 More than for (D)Jazer I weep for you,
(E)O vine of (F)Sibmah!
(G)Your branches passed over the sea,
reached to the Sea of (H)Jazer;
on your summer fruits and your grapes
the destroyer has fallen.
Jeremiah 48:36
