Bible verse
Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.
Jeremiah 48:4 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 48.
1 Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled.
2 There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
3 A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’
4 Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.
5 For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:
6 ‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.’
7 Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
8 The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.
