Context of Jeremiah 48:26

24against Kerioth, Bozrah and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25The horn (strength) of Moab has been cut off and his arm [of authority] is shattered,” says the Lord. “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. 28You inhabitants of Moab, Leave the cities and live among the rocks, And be like the dove that makes her nest In the walls of the yawning ravine.
