Context of Jeremiah 48:29

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. “We have heard the pride of Moab (He is exceedingly proud), Of his loftiness and arrogance and pride, And of the haughtiness of his heart.” 30“I know his wrath,” says the Lord, “But it is not right; His lies have made nothing right. 31Therefore I will wail for Moab, And I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
