Jeremiah 48:24
“on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.”
What does Jeremiah 48:24 mean?
This verse is part of Jeremiah's prophecy of judgment against Moab, a neighboring nation east of Israel. The prophet is describing how God's destruction will reach every Moabite city, whether they're prominent centers like Kerioth and Bozrah or small, remote settlements scattered throughout the land. The repetition of "far or near" emphasizes that no place will escape, that God's judgment is comprehensive and inescapable. For people in difficult seasons, this can speak both to accountability and to the reality that God's awareness extends everywhere, even to places that feel hidden or forgotten.
