Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab." — Jeremiah 48:47 (ASV)

Yet will I bring again ... — This intermingling of the hope of a far-off return is especially characteristic of these later chapters, as in the case of the Ammonites (Jeremiah 49:6) and Elam (Jeremiah 49:39).

Thus far is the judgment of Moab. — This is very probably originally a note made by an editor or transcriber to indicate the close of one section and the beginning of another. A similar conclusion is found in Jeremiah 51:64.
