Jeremiah 48:24-32 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

24. and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

25. The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.

26. Make ye him drunken; for he magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

27. For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head.

28. O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth.

29. We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, and the haughtiness of his heart.

30. I know his wrath, saith the Lord, that it is nought; his boastings have wrought nothing.

31. Therefore will I howl for Moab; yea, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall they mourn.

32. With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah: thy branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage the spoiler is fallen.
