Context of Jeremiah 48:4
2No more praise of Moab. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.’ You also shall be cut down, O Madmen! The sword shall pursue you; 3A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim: ‘Plundering and great destruction!’ “Moab is destroyed; Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard; 5For in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping; For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 6“Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in the wilderness.
