Jeremiah 48:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

and all who know his name;
say, ‘How the mighty sceptre is broken,
the glorious staff!’

¹⁸Come down from glory,
    and sit on the parched ground,
    enthroned daughter Dibon!
For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you;
    he has destroyed your strongholds.
¹⁹Stand by the road and watch,
    you inhabitant of Aroer!
Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping;
    say, ‘What has happened?’
