Jeremiah 48:15

15. Gone up… gone down An evident antithesis. The words out of, inserted by the translators in this verse, are unjustifiable and misleading. The simplest translation is, her cities have gone up, perhaps in smoke and flame. Another rendering is preferred by Keil, and is, perhaps, barely defensible, which leaves the subject of the verb indeterminate: they go up to his cities. The enemy ascends to the cities: the soldiers go down to slaughter.
