Jeremiah 48 — Context

And punishment has come on the lowlands; on Holon and Jahzah, and on Mephaath,

And on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,

And on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,

And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, far and near.

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

Make him full of wine, for his heart has been lifted up against the Lord: and Moab will be rolling in the food he was not able to keep down, and everyone will be making sport of him.

For did you not make sport of Israel? was he taken among thieves? for whenever you were talking about him, you were shaking your head over him.
