Context of Jeremiah 48:25
23to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul and Beth Meon, 24to Kerioth and Bozrah— to all the towns of Moab, far and near. Moab’s horn is cut off; her arm is broken,” declares the Lord. 26“Make her drunk, for she has defied the Lord. Let Moab wallow in her vomit; let her be an object of ridicule. 27Was not Israel the object of your ridicule? Was she caught among thieves, that you shake your head in scorn whenever you speak of her?
