26 “The people of Moab thought they were greater than the Lord,
    so ·punish them until they act as if they are drunk [L make them drunk].
Moab will ·fall and roll around [wallow; or overflow] in its own vomit,
    and people will even make fun of it [C they would drink from the cup of wrath; 25:15–38; Is. 19:14; 51:17; Nah. 1:10].
27 Moab, you made fun of Israel.
    Israel was ·caught [or not found] in the middle of a gang of thieves.
When you spoke about Israel,
    you shook your head [C acting as if Moab were better].
28 People in Moab, ·leave your towns empty [L abandon; forsake]
    and go live among the ·rocks [crags].
Be like a dove that makes its nest
    at the entrance of a cave.
