Jeremiah 48:13

A Message Concerning Moab

¹² Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will send to Moab those who will tip him over and who will empty his vessels and break his [earthenware] jars in pieces. ¹³ And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh [his worthless, disgusting god], as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their [misplaced] confidence. ¹⁴
“How can you say, ‘We are great warriors
And valiant men in war?’
