Jeremiah 48:27

“For wasn't Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.”

Verse in context — Jeremiah 48

The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Yahweh.

Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against Yahweh: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

For wasn't Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

We have heard of the pride of Moab, [that] he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
