You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.Encyclopedia MADMENmad'-men (madhmen; kai pausin pausetai): A town in Moab against which Jeremiah prophesied (48:2). The play upon the words here suggests a possible error in transcription: gam madhmen tiddomi, "Also, Madmen, thou shalt be silenced." The initial "M" of "Madmen" may have arisen by dittography from the last letter of gam. We should then vocalize it as "Dimon," which of course is "Dibon."
