Context of Jeremiah 48:4

2There is no longer praise for Moab; they plan harm against her in Heshbon: Come, let’s cut her off from nationhood. Also, Madmen, you will be silenced; the sword will follow you. 3A voice cries out from Horonaim, “devastation and a crushing blow!” Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out. 5For on the Ascent to Luhith they will be weeping continually, and on the descent to Horonaim will be heard cries of distress over the destruction: 6Flee! Save your lives! Be like a juniper bush in the wilderness.
