Jeremiah 48:26
Compare all
24 On aKerioth and Bozrah,
On all the cities of the land of Moab,
Far or near. 
25 aThe1 horn of Moab is cut off,
And his barm is broken,” says the Lord. 
26 “Makea him drunk,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.
Moab shall wallow in his vomit,
And he shall also be in derision. 
27 For awas not Israel a derision to you?
bWas he found among thieves?
For whenever you speak of him,
You shake your head in cscorn. 
28 You who dwell in Moab,
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. 
29 “We have heard the apride of Moab
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and bpride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.” 
30 “I know his1 wrath,” says the Lord,
“But it is not right;
aHis lies have made nothing right. 
31 Therefore aI will wail for Moab,
And I will cry out for all Moab;
1I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres. 
32 aO vine of Sibmah! I will weep for you with the weeping of bJazer.
Your plants have gone over the sea,
They reach to the sea of Jazer.
The plunderer has fallen on your summer fruit and your vintage.

Jeremiah 48:26

drunken—(see on Jeremiah 13:12; Jeremiah 25:17). Intoxicated with the cup of divine wrath, so as to be in helpless distraction.

magnified . . . against . . . Lord—boasted arrogantly against God's people, that whereas Israel was fallen, Moab remained flourishing.

wallow in . . . vomit—following up the image of a drunken man, that is, shall be so afflicted by God's wrath as to disgorge all his past pride, riches, and vainglory, and fall in his shameful abasement.

he also . . . derision—He in his disaster shall be an object of derision to us, as we in ours have been to him (Jeremiah 48:27). Retribution in kind.
