Jeremiah 48:22-29 New English Translation (NET)

22. on Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,

23. on Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,

24. on Kerioth and Bozrah. It will come on all the towns of Moab, both far and near.

25. Moab’s might will be crushed. Its power will be broken. I, the Lord, affirm it!

26. “Moab has vaunted itself against me.So make him drunk with the wine of my wrathuntil he splashes around in his own vomit,until others treat him as a laughingstock.

27. For did not you people of Moab laugh at the people of Israel?Did you think that they were nothing but thieves,that you shook your head in contemptevery time you talked about them?

28. Leave your towns, you inhabitants of Moab.Go and live in the cliffs.Be like a dove that makes its nesthigh on the sides of a ravine.

29. I have heard how proud the people of Moab are,I know how haughty they are.I have heard how arrogant, proud, and haughty they are,what a high opinion they have of themselves.
