Jeremiah 48:2 meaning and explanation
There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
Jeremiah 48:2, Berean Standard Bible

Heshbon was a Moabite town, and its name sounds like a Hebrew word for plotting, so the prophet makes the place itself conspire against Moab: the cry goes up to cut her off from nationhood.
