Jeremiah 48:9-11
Modern English Version

9 Give wings to Moab,
    that she may flee and get away;
for the cities will become desolate,
    without any to dwell in them.

10 Cursed be he who does the work of the Lord negligently,
    and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood.

11 Moab has been at ease from his youth,
    and he has also been undisturbed,
    like wine on its dregs,
and he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
    nor has he gone into captivity.
Therefore his taste remained in him,
    and his scent has not changed.

Jeremiah 48:9-11
New International Version

9 Put salt(A) on Moab,
    for she will be laid waste[a];(B)
her towns will become desolate,
    with no one to live in them.

10 “A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work!
    A curse on anyone who keeps their sword(C) from bloodshed!(D)

11 “Moab has been at rest(E) from youth,
    like wine left on its dregs,(F)
not poured from one jar to another—
    she has not gone into exile.
So she tastes as she did,
    and her aroma is unchanged.
