he is [wine] settled on its dregs,
not decanted from jar to jar —
he has not gone into exile.

11 “Moab has been at rest(A) from youth,
    like wine left on its dregs,(B)
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;

    and smash her jars.

    as Israel was ashamed
    when they trusted in Bethel.(E)

13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
