Jeremiah 48:2
No more praise of Moab - "The glory of Moab, that it had never been conquered," (Dahler), is now at an end. Dr. Blayney translates: -
\ri720 "Moab shall have no more glorying in Heshbon; They have devised evil against her (saying.)"
And this most certainly is the best translation of the original. He has marked also a double paronomasia in this and the next verse, a figure in which the prophets delight; becheshbon chashebu "in Cheshbon they have devised," and madmen tiddommi , "Madmena, thou shalt be dumb."
