Jeremiah 48:21
“And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,”
O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?
Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth–diblathaim,
And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth–gamul, and upon Beth–meon,
