25 Moab’s strength has been cut off.
    Its arm has been broken.”
This is what the Lord said.

26 “The people of Moab thought they were greater than the Lord.
    So punish them until they act like a drunk,
    falling and rolling around in his vomit.

    Israel was caught by a gang of thieves.
Every time you spoke about Israel,
    you shook your head and acted as if you were better than Israel.
