John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 48:13

"And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence." — Jeremiah 48:13 (ASV)

And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh His idol; see (Jeremiah 48:7); of his worship of him, prayers to him, and confidence in him; he not being able to save him from the destruction of the Chaldeans, and being carried captive by them; he himself also going into captivity: as the house of Israel were ashamed of Bethel their confidence; that is, of the golden calf that was set up in Bethel by Jeroboam, and which the ten tribes of Israel worshipped, and in which they trusted; but that could not save them from being carried captive by the Assyrians; and so were ashamed of it, and of their idolatrous worship, and vain confidence.
