Jeremiah 48:20-28

Enumeration of the cities which are to suffer (Jeremiah 48:20). The strength of Moab is destroyed, and Moab is become drunken (with the cup of Yahweh, Jeremiah 25:15), an object of present derision, as Israel formerly was to Moab, when Israel was treated as a detected thief (Jeremiah 2:26). Let the Moabites seek refuge like the dove in the inaccessible crannies of some ravine.

Jeremiah 48:20 ff. Several of these sites are unknown; Bozrah is not the Edomite city of Jeremiah 49:13.

Jeremiah 48:25. horn: a figure of strength, drawn from the bull; cf. Psalms 75:10.

Jeremiah 48:26. wallow: rather splash into, but LXX has Moab has clapped his hands, i.e. in derision of others.
