Jeremiah48:26
26 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 .
Either make ye her to stagger like a drunken man (the cause being put for the effect) or fill her with the intoxicating Wine Cup of Gods vengeance, with the effects of Gods wrath.
Because of her Pride, and exalting her self against the Lord, as if she had been stronger than he and so out of the reach of Gods power.
As drunken men vomit, and stagger, and fall, and wallow in their vomit, so let the Moabites fall by the sword, wallow in their blood, and like drunken men be mockt at, and had in derision by all those who see what their Vaunts come to, and what Vengeance they have pulled upon themselves.
