Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
Get him completely wasted, because he thought he was bigger than God himself. Moab's going to be rolling around in his own mess, and everyone's going to be laughing at him.
When you try to play God, you end up face-down in your own disaster.

Moab, an ancient enemy located east of the Dead Sea, is specifically targeted here for its pride and defiance against the Lord, reflecting a pattern of arrogance common among Israel's neighbors. This verse uses stark imagery to illustrate the consequences of such rebellion, emphasizing God's sovereignty over all peoples.
