## Jeremiah 48:27-30 in Context (Verses 24–33 KJV)
 
 [24 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/24) And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/25) The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/26) ¶ 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.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/27) For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.*
 
 [28 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/28) 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.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/29) 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.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/30) I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but *it shall* not *be* so; his lies shall not so effect *it*.*
 
 [31 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/31) Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; *mine heart* shall mourn for the men of Kir-heres.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/32) O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach *even* to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/33) And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; *their* shouting *shall be* no shouting.
 
[Jeremiah 47](/kjv/jeremiah/47) [Jeremiah 49](/kjv/jeremiah/49)
