There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (with a different chapter and verse numbering), made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; $\backslash mathfrak\{G\}$^B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: $\backslash mathfrak\{G\}$^S; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; $\backslash mathfrak\{G\}$^A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; $\backslash mathfrak\{G\}$^Q; 6th century).{{sfn|Würthwein|1995|pp=73-74}} The Septuagint version doesn't contain a part which are generally known to be verses 45–46 in Christian Bibles.

The parashah sections listed here are based on the Aleppo Codex.As reflected in the [http://mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et0.htm Jewish Publication Society's 1917 edition of the Hebrew Bible in English]. Jeremiah 48 is a part of the prophecies in Jeremiah 46-49 in the section of Prophecies against the nations (Jeremiah 46-51). {P}: open parashah; {S}: closed parashah.

The order of chapters and verses of the Book of Jeremiah in the English Bibles, Masoretic Text (Hebrew), and Vulgate (Latin), in some places differs from that in the Septuagint (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton. The following table is taken with minor adjustments from Brenton's Septuagint, page 971.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ccel.org/bible/brenton/Jeremiah/appendix.html|title=Table of Order of Jeremiah in Hebrew and Septuagint|website=www.ccel.org}}

The order of Computer Assisted Tools for Septuagint/Scriptural Study (CATSS) based on Alfred Rahlfs' Septuaginta (1935) differs in some details from Joseph Ziegler's critical edition (1957) in Göttingen LXX. Swete's Introduction mostly agrees with Rahlfs' edition (=CATSS).

This chapter seems to be a sequence of three parts: verses 1–13; 14–38, and 39–45.{{sfn|Coogan|2007|p=1151}}

:Against Moab.

:Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:

:: "Woe to Nebo!

:: For it is plundered,

:: Kirjathaim [is shamed] and taken;

:: The high stronghold is shamed and dismayed—{{bibleverse|Jeremiah|48:1|NKJV}}: NKJV

"Nebo" is identified with modern Khirbet Mekhayyet, {{cvt|8|km}} southwest of Heshbon.{{sfn|Coogan|2007|p=1151 Hebrew Bible}} The Septuagint omits the words 'is shamed'.Jerusalem Bible (1966), footnote at Jeremiah 48:1

:For because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures,

::you will also be captured;

:and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity

::together with his priests and his officials.{{bibleverse|Jeremiah|48:7|MEV}} MEV

• "Chemosh": was the national god of the Moabites.Jerusalem Bible (1966), footnote at Jeremiah 48:7 The downfall of Chemosh is repeated in verses 13 and 46.

:For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.{{bibleverse|Jeremiah|48:34|NKJV}}: NKJV

The same sentiment is expressed in {{bibleverse|Isaiah|15:16|NKJV}} in the prophet Isaiah's comparable oracle on Moab.
