And his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King whose name is Jehovah of Hosts. 16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his evil hurries fast. 17 All who are around him mourn for him. And all who know his name, say, How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod! 18 O dweller, daughter of Dibon, come down from glory and sit in thirst.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
O inhabitant of Aroer,.... Another city that belonged to Moab, situated on the border of it towards Ammon, near the river Arnon;
:-;
stand by the way, and espy; get to the road side where travellers pass, and look out for them:
ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; whether man or woman you see fleeing, having escaped the army of the Chaldeans:
[and] say, what is done? by the Chaldeans; ask what cities they have taken; what progress they have made; what is done to their cities, that they flee from them? tell all the particulars of things.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Aroer - On the Arnon, due south of Dibon. If Dibon falls, the turn of Aroer will come next, and therefore its inhabitants are to be on the look out, asking for news.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 48:19. O inhabitant of Aroer — Jeremiah 48:6. This place, being at a greater distance, is counselled to watch for its own safety, and inquire of every passenger, What is done? that it may know when to pack up and be gone.
