27 Was not Israel the object of your ridicule?
    Was she caught among thieves,
that you shake your head in scorn
    whenever you speak of her?
28 Abandon your towns and dwell among the rocks,
    you who live in Moab.
Be like a dove that makes its nest
    at the mouth of a cave.

29 ‘We have heard of Moab’s pride –
    how great is her arrogance! –
of her insolence, her pride, her conceit
    and the haughtiness of her heart.
