Jeremiah 48:29

A Message Concerning Moab

²⁸ Abandon the towns! Live in the cliffs,
residents of Moab!
Be like a dove
that nests inside the mouth of a cave. ²⁹ We have heard of Moab’s pride,
great pride, indeed—
his insolence, arrogance, pride,
and haughty heart.
³⁰ I know his outburst.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
It is empty.
His boast is empty.
