| Jeremiah 48:7
| For because thou hast trusted in thy bulwarks, and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken; and Chamos shall go into captivity, his priests, and his princes together.
| Bulwarks. Hebrew, "works," or possessions of corn, cattle, etc. (Calmet) --- Chamos, the idol of the Moabites. (Challoner) --- He was esteemed the king of the country, as the devil is the ape of God. The prophets often deride the imbecility of these idols, Jeremias 43., and xi. The chief idol of Moab shall fall, to shew the vanity of trusting in idols. (Worthington)
