Context of Jeremiah 48:4

2The glory of Moab is no more; In Heshbon they planned evil against her, Saying, ‘Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!’ You also, O [city of] Madmen, shall be silenced; The sword will pursue you. 3The sound of an outcry from Horonaim, ‘Desolation and great destruction!’ Moab is destroyed; Her little ones have called out a cry of distress [to be heard as far as Zoar]. 5For the Ascent of Luhith Will be climbed by [successive groups of] fugitives with continual weeping; For on the descent of Horonaim They have heard the distress of the cry of destruction. 6Run! Save your lives, That you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.
