26 “Moab’s people think they are better than I am.
    So let their enemies make them drunk.
    Let the people get sick and throw up.
Let them roll around in the mess they have made.
    Let people laugh at them.
27 Moab, you laughed at Israel, didn’t you?
    Were Israel’s people caught among robbers?
Is that why you shake your head at them?
    Is that why you make fun of them
    every time you talk about them?
28 Leave your towns,
    you who live in Moab.
    Go and live among the rocks.
Be like a dove that makes its nest
    at the entrance of a cave.
