Jeremiah 48:10 in context

    and no city will escape;
    the valley also will perish,
    and the plain will be destroyed; as Yahweh has spoken.
  2. 9Give wings to Moab,
    that she may fly and get herself away:
    and her cities will become a desolation,
    without anyone to dwell in them.
  3. 10“Cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently;

  4. 11“Moab 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.
  5. 12Therefore behold, the days come,” says Yahweh,
    “that I will send to him those who pour off,
    and they will pour him off;
    and they will empty his vessels,
    and break their containers in pieces.
