Context of Jeremiah 48:29

27Did you not ridicule the people of Israel? Were they caught in the company of thieves that you should despise them as you do? 28“You people of Moab, flee from your towns and live in the caves. Hide like doves that nest in the clefts of the rocks. We have all heard of the pride of Moab, for his pride is very great. We know of his lofty pride, his arrogance, and his haughty heart. 30I know about his insolence,” says the Lord, “but his boasts are empty— as empty as his deeds. 31So now I wail for Moab; yes, I will mourn for Moab. My heart is broken for the men of Kir-hareseth.

Jeremiah adds "loftiness and arrogancy" to Isaiah's picture, so that Moab had not only not been bettered by the chastisement previously endured as foretold by Isaiah, but had even become worse; so that his guilt, and therefore his sentence of punishment, are increased now.
