Jeremiah 48:26-32 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

26. Make ye him drunken; for he magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

27. For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head.

28. O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth.

29. We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, and the haughtiness of his heart.

30. I know his wrath, saith the Lord, that it is nought; his boastings have wrought nothing.

31. Therefore will I howl for Moab; yea, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall they mourn.

32. With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah: thy branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage the spoiler is fallen.
