Revised Standard Version
Jeremiah 48:10-12
Revised Standard Version
10 “Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord with slackness; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed.
11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth
and has settled on his lees;
he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
nor has he gone into exile;
so his taste remains in him,
and his scent is not changed.
12 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I shall send to him tilters who will tilt him, and empty his vessels, and break his[a] jars in pieces.

Jeremiah 48:10-12
New International Version
10 “A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work!
A curse on anyone who keeps their sword(A) from bloodshed!(B)
11 “Moab has been at rest(C) from youth,
like wine left on its dregs,(D)
not poured from one jar to another—
she has not gone into exile.
So she tastes as she did,
and her aroma is unchanged.
12 But days are coming,”
declares the Lord,
“when I will send men who pour from pitchers,
and they will pour her out;
they will empty her pitchers
and smash her jars.
