Jeremiah 48:29-39

See introd. summary to the ch. The passage may contain some Jeremianic matter, but on the whole is late (see also on Jeremiah 48:37) and borrowed to a large extent from Is. 15., 16. (chs. which are perhaps earlier than Isaiah's time and republished by him. See Skinner, C.B. ad loc.).
