Jeremiah 48:27-29

King James Version

²⁷For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.

²⁸O 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.

²⁹We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

New International Version

²⁷Was not Israel the object of your ridicule?^(A)
    Was she caught among thieves,^(B)

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

²⁹“We have heard of Moab’s pride^(G)—

and the haughtiness^(H) of her heart.
