Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 48:15

_ _ gone up ... gone down — in antithesis.

_ _ out of her cities — Rather, “Moab ... and her cities are gone up,” namely, pass away in the ascending smoke of their conflagration (Joshua 8:20, Joshua 8:21; Judges 20:40). When this took place, the young warriors would go down from the burning citadels only to meet their own slaughter [Grotius]. English Version is somewhat favored by the fact that “gone out” is singular, and “cities” plural. The antithesis favors Grotius.
