The sound of a cry from Horonaim,
desolation and great destruction!
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Jeremiah 48:3 in context
Jeremiah 48:1–6
1
Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:
“Woe to Nebo!
For it is laid waste.
Kiriathaim is disappointed.
It is taken.
Misgab is put to shame
and broken down.
2
The praise of Moab is no more.
In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:
‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’
You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence.
The sword will pursue you.
3
Selected verse

Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping.

Flee! Save your lives!
Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
