Jeremiah 48:27
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.
In context
25 The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm is broken,” declares the LORD.
26 “Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against the LORD; so Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
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.
