Jeremiah48:34

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 c: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate .

Heshbon, and Eleal[illegible: 1 letter]h, and Iahaz, and Zoar, and Horonaim; were all Cities of Moab who are here all threatned with ruine; with the Country about Nimrim, which Nimrim is mentioned no where in Scripture, but here, and in Isa. 15.6. nor are interpreters well agreed, whether in this place it be the name of a River, or a Lake, or a City. The sense is, the whole country of Moab shall be destroyed, the Cry shall reach from one part of the country to another, either the cry of the inhabitants, or of their Enemies pursuing them with a great noise.

Marginal references: Isa. 15.4, 5, 6.; Heb. desolations.
