Jeremiah 48:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸The destroyer shall come upon every town,
    and no town shall escape;
the valley shall perish,
    and the plain shall be destroyed,
    as the Lord has spoken.^(A)

⁹Set aside salt for Moab,
for she will surely fall;
her towns shall become a desolation,
with no inhabitant in them.^(B)
