Jeremiah 48:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ The Lord will curse anyone who refuses to do his work! He will punish anyone who does not use his sword to kill his enemies!

Moab's peace will come to an end

¹¹ The Lord said, ‘Moab's people have lived in peace since they first became a nation. No enemy has taken them away to a foreign land as their prisoners. They have been like the wine in a bottle that nobody has moved. Nobody has poured it into another bottle, so its taste and smell have never changed. Moab has always been the same.

¹² But the time will soon come when I will send people to attack Moab. They will pour out Moab's people like somebody pours wine out of a bottle. They will pour out all the wine so that the bottles are empty. And they will break the bottles into pieces!
