Context of Jeremiah 48:26

24against Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm broken,” declares the Lord. “Make him drunk, for he has become arrogant toward the Lord; so Moab will vomit, and he also will become a laughingstock. 27Now was Israel not a laughingstock to you? Or was he caught among thieves? For whenever you speak about him you shake your head in scorn. 28Leave the cities and live among the rocky cliffs, You inhabitants of Moab, And be like a dove that nests Beyond the mouth of the chasm.
