Jeremiah 48:29 in context

Jeremiah 48:26–32

26

“Make him drunk,

for he magnified himself against the LORD.

Moab will wallow in his vomit,

and he also will be in derision.

27

For wasn’t Israel a derision to you?

Was he found among thieves?

For as often as you speak of him,

you shake your head.

28

You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock.

Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

29
Selected verse

“We have heard of the pride of Moab.

He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride,

his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.

30

I know his wrath,” says the LORD, “that it is nothing;

his boastings have done nothing.

31

Therefore I will wail for Moab.

Yes, I will cry out for all Moab.

They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.

32

With more than the weeping of Jazer

I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah.

Your branches passed over the sea.

They reached even to the sea of Jazer.

The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits

and on your vintage.
