Jeremia 48,30

28 Forlat byene og bo blant klippene, dere som bor i Moab. Vær som en due som bygger rede ved inngangen til en hule.

29 Vi har hørt om Moabs stolthet—hvor stor er hennes arroganse!— om hennes frekkhet, hennes stolthet, hennes innbilskhet og hjertets hovmod.

Jeg kjenner hennes frekkhet,» erklærer Herren, «men det er fåfengt; hennes skryt oppnår ingenting.

31 Derfor sørger jeg over Moab, for hele Moab roper jeg ut, jeg klager for folket i Kir-Hareset.

32 Jeg gråter for deg, som Jaser gråter, du vinstokker av Sibma. Dine grener spredte seg over havet; de nådde så langt som Jaser. Ødeleggeren har falt over din modne frukt og druer.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
