Jeremiah 48:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ Set aside salt for Moab,
    for she will be laid waste;
her towns will be left in ruins,
    without a single inhabitant.
¹⁰ Accursed are those who are negligent
    in doing the work of the Lord,
and accursed also is the one
    who withholds his sword from bloodshed.
¹¹ From its earliest days
    Moab has been undisturbed
    and never has gone into exile.
It has been like wine settled on its lees
    that has never been transferred
    from one decanter to another.
Thus its flavor has remained unaltered,
    and its aroma has stayed unchanged.
