Jeremiah 48:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ The destroyer of Moab and his towns has come up,
    and the choicest of his young men have gone down to slaughter,
    says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
¹⁶ The calamity of Moab is near at hand
    and his doom approaches swiftly.
¹⁷ Mourn over him, all you his neighbours,
    and all who know his name;
say, ‘How the mighty sceptre is broken,
    the glorious staff!’
