Jeremiah 48:20

"Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’"

Key Reflection

This passage instructs the inhabitants of Aroer to prepare for Moab's impending judgment by observing those who flee or escape, seeking to understand the extent and nature of the calamity. It underscores a call to vigilance and to seek understanding in times of crisis, reflecting a broader theme of divine warnings and the importance of recognizing God’s judgments in history.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes
