9. Make Moab a salt marsh, for she will run away; her towns will become a desolation,without inhabitant.
10. The one who doesthe Lord’s business deceitfully is cursed, and the one who withholdshis sword from bloodshed is cursed.
11. Moab has been left quiet since his youth,settled like wine on its dregs. He hasn’t been poured from one container to anotheror gone into exile.So his taste has remained the same,and his aroma hasn’t changed.
12. Therefore look, the days are coming —this is the Lord’s declaration —when I will send those to him, who will pour him out.They will empty his containersand smash his jars.
