Jeremiah 48:9

Moab needed wings, since her people were bound to fly away into captivity, and her cities would remain desolate. Another translation sees Moab sown with salt, a symbol of destruction in the ancient Near East (cf. Judges 9:45), either to destroy Moab or to prepare it for the conqueror’s occupation. Salt was an abundant material in Moab, which lay just east of the Salt (Dead) Sea.
