Jeremiah 48:35

Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
33

And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

34

From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.

35

Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.

36

Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir–heres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.

37

For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Literal Fulfillment

While the verse describes concrete actions, the "ceasing" of these practices could be interpreted metaphorically as a decline in religious adherence rather than a complete, physical cessation of every individual act of offering or burning incense.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse states that the Lord will "cause to cease" certain practices and individuals, which implies cessation rather than explicit destruction or perishing of the people themselves.

Annihilation / Destruction

The verse states that certain practices will cease, not necessarily that the individuals performing them will be annihilated or cease to exist. It could imply a cessation of religious activity rather than the physical destruction of people.
