From email from Gary Shogren, theological checker for SUN translation.

Error in Jer 48:15, where I marked it yellow. Since it refers to God (and I did study it out to make sure it was God!), it should be capitalized "King" (by the way, it is Melek, king, in Hebrew, not Adonai, Lord). I rendered it in SUN as Lord pn.

\v 15 Moab will be devastated and its cities attacked.
\q For its finest young men
\q2 have gone down to the place of slaughter.
\q This is the king's declaration!
\q2 Yahweh of hosts is his name.

I agree. King should be capitalized in this verse.
It will also need to be fixed in tN.
