Context — Judgment on Moab
27Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.
28Abandon the towns and settle among the rocks, O dwellers of Moab! Be like a dove that nests at the mouth of a cave.
29We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.
30I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds. 31Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.Cross References

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 48:29
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. The pride of Moab - (Isaiah 16:6-7). Moab was the trumpeter of his own fame.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:29
There is a passage, , &c., concerning Moab, very little differing from this: Isaiah lived some years before this prophet, who yet complaineth of them for the same sins, so as they were not at all reformed. God saith he had heard of their pride and arrogancy; a vice which commonly attendeth ease and prosperity, and is exceeding odious in the sight of God, so as a wicked man is often in Scripture set out under the notion of a proud man.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:29
Jeremiah 48:29 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.Ver. 29. We have heard the pride of Moab.] See Isaiah 16:6. Proud he was then, and the same he is still; no changeling is he.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:29
(29) We have heard the pride of Moab . . .—It will be seen that here and in the next verse the very words of Isaiah (Isaiah 16:6) are reproduced. The prophet seems to find a pleasure in going back to the old words as showing that the fault of which he spoke was inveterate, and had shown itself incurable. It is, however, a free reproduction, and Jeremiah, instead of making the whole utterance that of the Jews, inserts the words, “I know his wrath, saith the Lord,” which come as an oracle from God, affirming the judgment of the people.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:29
Verse 29. The pride of Moab] See Clarke on Isaiah 16:1.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 48:29
29–39. See introd. summary to the ch. The passage may contain some Jeremianic matter, but on the whole is late (see also on Jeremiah 48:37-38) and borrowed to a large extent from Is. 15., 16. (chs. which are perhaps earlier than Isaiah’s time and republished by him. See Skinner, C.B. ad loc.).
