Jeremiah 48:27 Context
25The horne of Moab is cut off, & his arme is broken, saith the Lord. 26¶ Make ye him drunken: for hee magnified himselfe against the Lord: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shalbe in derision. 27For was not Israel a derision vnto thee? was hee found among theeues? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for ioy. 28O yee that dwell in Moab, leaue the cities and dwell in the rocke, and be like the doue that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth. 29We haue heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftinesse and his arrogancie, and his pride, and the hautinesse of his heart.
