Therefore [b]he retains his flavor,
And his aroma has not changed.

12 Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will send to him those who tip vessels, and they will tip him over, and they will pour out his vessels and smash [c]his jars. 13 And Moab will be (D)ashamed of (E)Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed of (F)Bethel, their confidence.
