Jeremiah 48:1-10

About Moab,  this is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Woe to Nebo,  because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame;  it will be taken captive. The fortress will be put to shame and dismayed! There is no longer praise for Moab; they plan harm against her in Heshbon:  Come, let’s cut her off from nationhood. Also, Madmen, you will be silenced; the sword will follow   you. A voice cries out from Horonaim,  “devastation and a crushing blow! ”  Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out. For on the Ascent to Luhith they will be weeping continually,  and on the descent to Horonaim will be heard cries of distress over the destruction:  Flee! Save your lives!  Be like a juniper bush  , in the wilderness. Because you trust in your works and treasures, you will be captured also. Chemosh  will go into exile with his priests and officials.  The destroyer  will move against every town; not one town will escape. The valley will perish, and the plain will be annihilated,  as the LORD has said. Make Moab a salt marsh,  , for she will run away;  her towns will become a desolation, without inhabitant.  The one who does the  LORD’s business deceitfully  is cursed,  and the one who withholds his sword from bloodshed is cursed.
