Jeremiah 48:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ I will order the nearby nations
    to mourn for you and say,
“Isn't it sad? Moab ruled others,
but now its glorious power
    has been shattered.”

¹⁸ People in the town of Dibon,^[a]
you will be honored no more,
    so have a seat in the dust.
Your walls will be torn down
    when the enemies attack.

¹⁹ You people of Aroer,^[b]
    go wait beside the road,
and when refugees run by,
    ask them, “What happened?”
