Jeremiah 48:17 in Context — Jeremiah 48

15 Destruído fué Moab, y sus ciudades asoló, y sus escogidos mancebos descendieron al degolladero, ha dicho el Rey, cuyo nombre es Jehová de los ejércitos.

16 Cercano está el quebrantamiento de Moab para venir, y su mal se apresura mucho.

17 Compadeceos de él todos los que estáis alrededor suyo; y todos los que sabéis su nombre, decid: ¿Cómo se quebró la vara de fortaleza, el báculo de hermosura?

18 Desciende de la gloria, siéntate en seco, moradora hija de Dibón; porque el destruidor de Moab subió contra ti, disipó tus fortalezas.

19 Párate en el camino, y mira, oh moradora de Aroer: pregunta á la que va huyendo, y á la que escapó; dile: ¿Qué ha acontecido?
