Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:5

"For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction. Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken, and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together. And the destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and... read more

Against MoabMoab, in recompense for its pride and security, and for its triumphing over Israel in the day of her calamity, shall itself be laid waste and taken captive: cp. the ’burden of Moab ’in Isaiah 15, 16.1.

CHAPTER 48 Concerning Moab 1. The overthrow of Moab (Jeremiah 48:1-10 ) 2. The humiliation of Moab (Jeremiah 48:11-19 ) 3. Reaping what they sowed (Jeremiah 48:20-28 ) 4. Destroyed on account of its pride (Jeremiah 48:29-47 ) With these divisions the chapter may be studied in detail. Moab was of incestuous off spring Genesis 19:37 .
