Context of Jeremiah 48:26

24Kerioth, Bozrah, and on all the cities of Moab, far and near. 25“Moab’s horn is cut off, and its arm is broken,” declares the Lord. “Get the people of Moab drunk; they have spoken against the Lord. They will wallow in their own vomit, and people will laugh at them. 27People of Moab, didn’t you laugh at the people of Israel? Were they caught among thieves? Whenever you talk about them you shake your heads in contempt. 28People of Moab, abandon your cities. Live among the cliffs. Be like doves that make their nests at the entrance of a cave.
