Context of Jeremiah 48:26

24On Kerioth and Bozrah, On all the cities of the land of Moab, Far or near. 25The horn of Moab is cut off, And his arm is broken,” says the Lord. “Make him drunk, Because he exalted himself against the Lord. Moab shall wallow in his vomit, And he shall also be in derision. 27For was not Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him, You shake your head in scorn. 28You who dwell in Moab, Leave the cities and dwell in the rock, And be like the dove which makes her nest In the sides of the cave’s mouth.
