26 “The people of Moab thought they were greater than the Lord,
    so punish them until they act as if they are drunk.
Moab will fall and roll around in its own vomit,
    and people will even make fun of it.
27 Moab, you made fun of Israel.
    Israel was caught in the middle of a gang of thieves.
When you spoke about Israel,
    you shook your head and acted as if you were better than it.
28 People in Moab, leave your towns empty
    and go live among the rocks.
Be like a dove that makes its nest
    at the entrance of a cave.

    you who live in Moab.
Be like a dove(I) that makes its nest
    at the mouth of a cave.(J)
