Jeremiah 48:13

ChemoshMoabBethel (of Palestine)Moab

11 Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.

12 Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him wanderers, who will pour him out. They will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.

Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.

14 How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?

15 Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
