A Land Filled with Sorrow
Commentators explain that Jeremiah uses real geography to paint a picture of total despair. Fugitives are described weeping as they flee up the ascent to the city of Luhith and down into the valley of Horonaim. The sorrow is not confined to one place but covers the entire landscape, symbolizing the complete and inescapable nature of God's judgment on Moab.
