Moresheth

This is a town in Judah.

Yahweh of hosts says this

Jeremiah often uses these words to introduce an important message from Yahweh. See Jeremiah 6:6.

Zion will become a plowed field ... and the hill of the temple will become a thicket

When a farmer plows a field, he turns over all the dirt and uproots all the plants. A thicket is full of bushes that no one can use it for anything. These phrases emphasize that Yahweh will allow the invaders to completely destroy the temple area.
