Jeremiah 48:29-31
New American Standard Bible
29 (A)We have heard of the pride of Moab—he is very proud—
Of his haughtiness, his (B)pride, his arrogance, and [a]his self-exaltation.
30 I know his (C)fury,” declares the Lord,
“But it is futile;
His idle boasts have accomplished nothing.
31 Therefore I will (D)wail for Moab,
For all of Moab I will cry out;
[b]I will moan for the men of (E)Kir-heres.

29 “We have heard the (A)pride of Moab
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and (B)pride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.”
30 “I know his wrath,” says the Lord,
“But it is not right;
(C)His [a]lies have made nothing right.
31 Therefore (D)I will wail for Moab,
And I will cry out for all Moab;
[b]I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.

King James Version
29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
