Because he exalted himself against the Lord.
Moab shall wallow in his vomit,
And he shall also be in derision.
bWas he found among thieves?
For whenever you speak of him,
You shake your head in cscorn.
Leave the cities and adwell in the rock,
And be like bthe dove which makes her nest
In the sides of the cave’s mouth.
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and bpride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.”
And I will cry out for all Moab;
1I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
| << Jeremiah 48:26 | Jeremiah 48:28 >> |
