Jeremiah 48:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jeremiah 48:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 Give Moab a blossom, but it will blow away completely.[a]
Her cities will become desolate
with no one to live in them.
10 Cursed is the one who is negligent in doing the Lord’s work.
Cursed is the one who holds back his sword from bloodshed.
11 Moab has been at peace since its youth,
undisturbed, like wine on its dregs,
never poured from one vessel to another.
It has never gone into captivity.
That is why it tastes the same as it always did,
and its aroma is unchanged.
