Jeremiah 48:27-29
International Standard Version
Jeremiah 48:27-29
International Standard Version
27 Wasn’t Israel an object of mocking for you?
Wasn’t he treated like a thief,[a]
so that whenever you spoke about him
you shook your head in contempt?[b]
28 Abandon the cities, and live on the cliffs,[c]
you inhabitants of Moab.
Be like a dove that builds a nest
by the mouth of a cave.
29 We have heard about Moab’s pride—
he’s very proud—
his haughtiness, his arrogance,
his insolence, and his conceit.[d]

Jeremiah 48:27-29
King James Version
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 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 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.
