NET Bible
"A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the LORD’s work! A curse on anyone who keeps from carrying out his destruction!"
— Jeremiah 48:10, NET Bible
“Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.”
“Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently; and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. ”
“Cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.”
“Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord deceitfully: and cursed be he that withholdeth his sword from blood.”
“Let him be cursed who does the Lord's work half-heartedly; let him be cursed who keeps back his sword from blood.”
“Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.”
“Moab, you trust in the things you do and in your riches. So you too will be conquered. Your god Chemosh will go into exile along with his priests and his officials.
The destroyer will come against every town. Not one town will escape. The towns in the valley will be destroyed. The cities on the high plain will be laid waste. I, the LORD, have spoken!
Set up a gravestone for Moab, for it will certainly be laid in ruins! Its cities will be laid waste and become uninhabited.”
A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the LORD’s work! A curse on anyone who keeps from carrying out his destruction!
“From its earliest days Moab has lived undisturbed. It has never been taken into exile. Its people are like wine allowed to settle undisturbed on its dregs, never poured out from one jar to another. They are like wine which tastes like it always did, whose aroma has remained unchanged.
But the time is coming when I will send men against Moab who will empty it out. They will empty the towns of their people, then will lay those towns in ruins. I, the LORD, affirm it!
The people of Moab will be disappointed by their god Chemosh. They will be as disappointed as the people of Israel were when they put their trust in the calf god at Bethel.
