Jeremiah 48:43

Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee ,.... A proverbial expression, showing, that if they escaped one danger, or sore judgment, they should fall into another and greater: the words seem to be taken from Isaiah 24:17 ; See Gill on Isaiah 24:17 ;

O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord ; what in the prophecy of Isaiah is said of the inhabitants of the earth in general, is here applied to the inhabitants of Moab in particular.
