Jeremiah 48:27
World English Bible (WEB)
For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
In context
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.
26 “Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
27 For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28 You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29 “We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
