Commentary for Jeremiah 48:39

אֵ֥יךְ חַ֙תָּה֙ הֵילִ֔ילוּ אֵ֛יךְ הִפְנָה־עֹ֥רֶף מוֹאָ֖ב בּ֑וֹשׁ וְהָיָ֥ה מוֹאָ֛ב לִשְׂחֹ֥ק וְלִמְחִתָּ֖ה לְכָל־סְבִיבָֽיו׃ (ס)

’How is it broken down!’ wail ye! ‘How hath Moab turned the back with shame!’ So shall Moab become a derision and a dismay to all that are round about him.

Rashi on Jeremiah

Wail, “How was she dismayed?” Wail about her and say, “How was she dismayed?”
