Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 48:9

"Give wings unto Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein." — Jeremiah 48:9 (ASV)

Give wings to Moab ... —“No other prayer,” the prophet seems to say, in grave, stern irony, “is left but this. Resistance is hopeless. There is nothing left but to wish for the wings of a bird that safety may be found in flight.” .
