Jeremiah 48:27

A Message Concerning Moab

²⁶ “Make him drunk, for he has become arrogant and magnified himself against the Lord [by denying Reuben’s occupation of the land the Lord had assigned him]. Moab also will wallow in his vomit, and he too shall become a laughingstock. ²⁷ For was not Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he caught among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head in scorn. ²⁸
“You inhabitants of Moab,
Leave the cities and live among the rocks,
And be like the dove that makes her nest
In the walls of the yawning ravine.
