Jeremiah 48:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

In Heshbon they planned evil against her:
    “Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!”
You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence;^[a]

³Hark! a cry from Horonaim,
“Desolation and great destruction!”
⁴“Moab is destroyed!”
her little ones cry out.
