Jeremiah 48:13 in context

The verses around it, from Jeremiah 48.

9 Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.

10 Cursed is the one who is remiss in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.

11 Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.

12 Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him wanderers, who will pour him out. They will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.

13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.

14 How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?

15 Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.

16 Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.

17 Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered—the glorious staff!
