Read in context

Jeremiah 48:27–31 · Berean Standard Bible

27 Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.

28 Abandon the towns and settle among the rocks, O dwellers of Moab! Be like a dove that nests at the mouth of a cave.

29 We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.

30 I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.

31 Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
