Jeremiah 48:2
There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee. There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
Jeremiah 48:2 is part of a prophecy against Moab, included among Jeremiah's prophecies against other nations. It belongs to a prophecy of judgment against Moab, one of the kingdoms surrounding Israel whose doom is pronounced. That larger section contains prophecies against foreign nations, especially Babylon.
It stands among the very instructive closing chapters of Jeremiah that cover his personal experiences and his going into Egypt. The verse declares that there will be no more praise of Moab, for in Heshbon evil is devised to cut it off from being a nation, while Madmen shall be cut down and the sword shall pursue its people. It foretells that Moab as a power would fall before the mighty conqueror Nebuchadnezzar.
