Jeremiah 48:15-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ The destroyer of Moab and its towns
has come up,^[a]
and the best of its young men
have gone down to slaughter.
This is the King’s declaration;
Yahweh of Hosts is His name.^(A)
16 Moab’s calamity is near at hand;
his disaster is rushing swiftly.
¹⁷ Mourn for him, all you surrounding nations,
everyone who knows his name.
Say: How the mighty scepter^(B) is shattered,
the glorious staff!
