Bible verse
Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
Jeremiah 48:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 48.
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.
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.
