Jeremiah 48:18-25

Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon Thou that art exalted in pride, and rendered effeminate through luxury: Dibon being one of the chief cities of Moab; come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst Submit to a mean condition, wherein thou shalt feel the want of all the conveniences of life. The Hebrew language expresses a barren land, which yields no sustenance by a thirsty ground, Psalms 63:2; Isaiah 35:7; Ezekiel 19:13. O inhabitant of Aroer A town in the borders of Moab; stand by the way and espy, &c. The prophet describes the great concern and fear that were upon them, which made them hearken to every little report that was stirring. Howl and cry There will be just cause for a general lamentation. Judgment is come upon the plain country, &c. The inhabitants of the low grounds have suffered the punishment they deserved. The horn of Moab is cut off The authority and power of Moab are taken away. This is a metaphorical expression, taken from horned beasts, whose power to defend themselves, and injure other creatures, lies chiefly in their horns. And his arm is broken His strength is exhausted, the arm of man being the instrument whereby he chiefly discovers his strength.
