Jeremiah 48:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 Because you trusted in your works and your treasures,
you also shall be captured.
Chemosh[a] shall go into exile,
his priests and princes with him.(A)
8 The destroyer comes upon every city,
not a city escapes;
Ruined is the valley,
wasted the plateau—oracle of the Lord.
9 Set up a tombstone for Moab;
it will soon become a complete wasteland,
Its cities turned into ruins
where no one dwells.
