Jeremiah 48:21

Verse 21 of 47. The 48th of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.

17All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’

18“You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.

19Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’

20Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.

21Judgment has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,

22on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,

23on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,

24on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.
