Jeremiah48:41

41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised , and the mighty mens hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs .

Whether Kerioth here be the proper name of a City, as it is ver. 24. Or an appellative Noun signifying Cities, is doubtful. The latter seems best to agree to this place, The Cities and the strong holds are all taken, and

though Moab hath in it many mighty and valiant men, yet their hearts will be full of fear, or ready to fail them, like a womans who is in her travail and hath great, and sore pains.

Marginal references: Or, the cities.; chap. 49.22.
