Jeremiah 48:29

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.

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.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
