Jeremiah 48:7

For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.

Because thou hast trusted in thy works namely, fortifications built by thy work. Moab was famous for its fortresses and "strong holds" (). The antithesis is to , "Be ... in the wilderness," where there are no fortified cities.

Thou ... also - like the rest of the surrounding peoples, Judah, etc., "shalt be taken."

Chemosh - the tutelary god of Moab (; ; ; ).

Shall go forth into captivity. When a people was vanquished, their gods also were taken away by the victors ().
