Jeremiah 48:10

Jeremiah 48:10

8 And ^athe plunderer shall come against every city;
No one shall escape.
The valley also shall perish,
And the plain shall be destroyed,
As the Lord has spoken.

9 “Give^a wings to Moab,
That she may flee and get away;
For her cities shall be desolate,
Without any to dwell in them.

10 ^aCursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully,
And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth;
He ^ahas settled on his dregs,
And 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.

12 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I shall send him¹ wine-workers
Who will tip him over
And empty his vessels
And break the bottles.

work of . . . Lord—the divinely appointed utter devastation of Moab. To represent how entirely this is God's will, a curse is pronounced on the Chaldeans, the instrument, if they do it negligently (Margin) or by halves (Judges 5:23); compare Saul's sin as to Amalek (I Samuel 15:3, I Samuel 15:9), and Ahab's as to Syria (I Kings 20:42).
