"Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith Jehovah, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods." — Jeremiah 48:35 (ASV)
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places A burnt offering there; that is, the priest, who shall be taken and carried captive, (Jeremiah 48:7); even everyone of them; so that there will not be one left to offer sacrifice: and him that burneth incense to his gods: Chemosh, and others, the Moabites worshipped: this suggests that idolatry was one of the sins for which they were punished; and as all places and all sorts of persons should suffer in this calamity, so likewise idolatrous places, priests, and worshippers.
