Jeremiah 48:18-20
Common English Bible
18 Come down from your lofty place
and sit in the dust,[a]
you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon;[b]
because Moab’s destroyer
has arrived to level your fortresses.
19 Stand by the roads and watch,
you inhabitants of Aroer.
Ask the men who flee
and the women who run off,
“What’s happened?”
20 Moab is shamed and shocked;
weep and wail!
Tell it by the Arnon River:
Moab’s been destroyed!
