Jeremiah 48:28 in Context — Jeremiah 48

26 Embriagai-o, pois contra o SENHOR se engrandeceu; e Moabe se revolverá sobre seu vômito, e ele também será por escárnio.

27 Pois para ti não foi Israel por escárnio? Por acaso ele foi achado entre ladrões, para que balances a cabeça quando falas dele?

28 Deixai as cidades, e habitai em rochedos, ó moradores de Moabe; e sejais como a pomba que faz ninho nas brechas da boca da caverna.

29 Temos ouvido a soberba de Moabe, que é soberbo demais, assim como sua arrogância e seu orgulho, sua altivez e a altura de seu coração.

30 Eu conheço sua insolência,diz o SENHOR; porém não será assim; suas mentiras lhe serão em vão.
