11Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
12Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
13Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14How say you, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?
15Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Hosts.
16The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17All you who are round about him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!
