Context of Jeremiah 48:25
23against Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon, 24against Kerioth, Bozrah and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. The horn (strength) of Moab has been cut off and his arm [of authority] is shattered,” says the Lord. 26“Make him drunk, for he has become arrogant and magnified himself against the Lord [by denying Reuben’s occupation of the land the Lord had assigned him]. Moab also will wallow in his vomit, and he too shall become a laughingstock. 27For was not Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he caught among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head in scorn.
