Jeremiah 48:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.

In the going up of Luhith ... going down of Horonaim - Horonaim lay in a plain, Luhith on a height. To the latter, therefore, the Moabites would flee, with "continual weeping," as a place of safety from the Chaldeans.

Continual weeping shall go up - literally, weeping shall go up upon weeping.

Jeremiah 48:5

5 For in the going up of Luhith continualb weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
