Context of Jeremiah 48:25
23upon Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon, 24upon Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of Moab, those far and near. The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm is broken,” declares the LORD. 26“Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against the LORD; so Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock. 27Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.
