Jeremiah 48 has a Christian counterpart in 1 Corinthians 5. In Christianity, real Christianity, there is shunning as some call it and excommunication as others know it. It can result in actual death. It is better in the long term after death than to allow major sins such as paedophillia and parenticide to go unpunished because unpunished sin means a worse afterlife and worse fate at the final judgement. Yet today there are many who deny this aspect of faith, who are arrogant and proud and sit on their hands when tough love is required.
