Jeremiah 48:28 in context

  1. 26“Make him drunken;
    for he magnified himself against Yahweh.
    Moab will wallow in his vomit,
    and he also will be in derision.
  2. 27For wasn’t Israel a derision to you?
    Was he found among thieves?
    For as often as you speak of him,
    you shake your head.
  3. 28You 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.
  4. 29“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.
  5. 30I know his wrath,” says Yahweh, “that it is nothing;
    his boastings have done nothing.
