Context of Jeremiah 48:29

27Wasn’t Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.” 28Abandon the towns! Live in the cliffs, residents of Moab! Be like a dove that nests inside the mouth of a cave. We have heard of Moab’s pride, great pride, indeed — his insolence, arrogance, pride, and haughty heart. 30I know his outburst. This is the Lord’s declaration. It is empty. His boast is empty. 31Therefore, I will wail over Moab. I will cry out for Moab, all of it; he will moan for the men of Kir-heres.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-47Moab, one of two nations descended from Abraham’s nephew Lot (Genesis 19:36–38), was the next nation judged in the Lord’s courtroom (compare Isaiah 15–16). Moab’s land was between the Arnon River and the Zered Brook, east of the Dead Sea. At that time, the Moabites felt confident because they were mostly safe from Babylonian military power.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2929. pride--(Is 16:6, 7). Moab was the trumpeter of his own fame. Jeremiah adds "loftiness and arrogancy" to Isaiah's picture, so that Moab had not only not been bettered by the chastisement previously endured as foretold by Isaiah, but had even become worse; so that his guilt, and therefore his sentence of punishment, are increased now.
