Jeremiah 48:35 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:35

Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him
that offereth in the high places
A burnt offering there; that is, the priest, who shall be taken and carried captive, ( Jeremiah 48:7 ) ; even everyone of them; so that there will not be one left to otter sacrifice: and him that burneth incense to his gods:
Chemosh, and others, the Moabites worshipped: this suggests that idolatry was one of the sins for which they were punished; and as all places and all sorts of persons should suffer in this calamity, so likewise idolatrous places, priests, and worshippers.
