Jeremiah 48:28 — Meaning and Application

Make ye him drunken: for he magnified {himself} against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy. {skippedst...: or, movedst thyself}

O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove {that} maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.

We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but {it shall} not {be} so; his lies shall not so effect {it}. {his lies...: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}
