Jeremiah 48:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰Accursed is the one who is slack in doing the work of the Lord; and accursed is the one who keeps back the sword from bloodshed.

¹¹Moab has been at ease from his youth,
    settled like wine^[a] on its dregs;
he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
    nor has he gone into exile;
therefore his flavor has remained
    and his aroma is unspoiled.

¹²Therefore, the time is surely coming, says the Lord, when I shall send to him decanters to decant him, and empty his vessels, and break his^[b] jars in pieces.
