What does Jeremiah 48:35 mean?

God is telling the people of Moab that he will end their religious practices and worship. When he says he'll remove "him who offers in the high place" and those who burn incense, he means their priests and the rituals they perform for their gods will come to an end. This is part of God's judgment on Moab for turning away from him—he's saying their false religion won't protect them or continue indefinitely. For those going through difficult times, this verse can be a reminder that no false comfort or broken system lasts forever. God's authority outlasts any human made-up religion or substitute for real connection with him. The harder message here is that living apart from God has real consequences, but the softer truth underneath is that God hasn't abandoned his interest in drawing people back to what's real and true.
