Jeremiah 48:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹From early on Moab has been at ease,
        like wine^[a] left to settle on its sediment.
    It hasn’t been poured into jars;
        nor has Moab been taken into exile.
    Therefore, its taste is still pleasant,
        and its aroma is the same.

¹²But the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will send to him someone to spill it—to pour out his wine and to smash his jars. ¹³And Moab will be put to shame on account of Chemosh, just as the people of Israel were put to shame on account of Bethel, in which they trusted.^[b]
