Jeremiah 48:11-41 BSB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-47

D). Prophecy Against Moab (Jeremiah 48:1-47 ). Whilst the Philistines were a constant trouble to Israel/Judah from the west, mainly troubling western Israel/Judah, eastern Israel/Judah, especially east of Jordan, suffered constantly at the hands of Moab when it was strong. Moab was situated east of the Dead Sea. This was partly due to the fact that in the time of Moses Israel had occupied territory which Moab saw as its own, territory which had been taken from Moab by the Ammonites prior to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:14-28

The Humbling Of Moab And Judgment On Her Cities (Jeremiah 48:14-28 ). Jeremiah 48:14-15 “How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, And valiant men for the war?’ Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, And his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, The word of the King, Whose name is YHWH of hosts.” In their complacency the people of Moab trusted in their armed forces, in their champions and in their men of valour. They had no doubt that they could cope with anything.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:29-39

A Lament Over Moab (Jeremiah 48:29-39 ). The fate of Moab is very much linked with its overweening pride. It tended to be out of the way of invaders from the north who would use the coastal route, and after the demise of the Assyrians had therefore remained relatively unscathed. It was thus confident in itself and in its god Chemosh, and saw itself as superior to other nations, especially Israel and Judah which had suffered much more at the hands of oppressors. It had grown confident that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:39-46

The Coming Judgment On Moab And Its Final Restoration (Jeremiah 48:39-46 ). In its pride Moab considered itself invulnerable and well able to take care of itself. It exalted its own god, Chemosh, above YHWH as it arrogantly surveyed what had happened to Judah/Israel. But its very pride led to it refusing tribute to Babylon, with the consequences which followed. When men become too confident in themselves they are heading for a downfall. It may be delayed, but it will come. And if we put... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:11-19

Jeremiah 48:11-Psalms : . Moab, hitherto undisturbed, is compared with wine left standing on its sediment ( Isaiah 25:6), and retaining its flavour and scent ( i.e. being self-centred and undisciplined; cf. the “ pride” of Jeremiah 48:29). But now she is roughly handled, and the jars ( Jeremiah 48:12 mg. 2 ) broken. She “ shall be put to shame through” (the helplessness of) Chemosh (so render in Jeremiah 48:13), as Israel was through her false trust in the worship at Bethel ( Amos 5:5). In... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:20-28

Jeremiah 48:20-Hosea : . Enumeration of the cities which are to suffer ( Jeremiah 48:20-:). The strength of Moab is destroyed, and Moab is become drunken (with the cup of Yahweh, Jeremiah 25:15), an object of present derision, as Israel formerly was to Moab, when Israel was treated as a detected thief ( Jeremiah 2:26). Let the Moabites seek refuge like the dove in the inaccessible crannies of some ravine. Jeremiah 48:20 ff. Several of these sites are unknown; Bozrah is not the Edomite city of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:29-39

Jeremiah 48:29-Malachi : . Moab’ s pride is without foundation, doomed to a fall which the prophet laments; comparing the past glory with the far-reaching tendrils of a choice vine ( Jeremiah 48:32). There is no longer the joy of the ingathering; the shout of battle replaces that of the vintage ( Jeremiah 48:33). The beginning of Jeremiah 48:34 is corrupt and yields no sense, but the general meaning is that there shall be widespread ruin. The worship of the land is brought to an end (... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:40-47

Jeremiah 40-47. The foe swoops down vulture-like ( Jeremiah 4:13) on Moab, destroyed because of pride against Yahweh. One disaster succeeds another in this time of punishment (“ visitation,” Jeremiah 11:23, Jeremiah 23:12), and there is no asylum to be found in Heshbon, for a destructive flame proceeds “ from the house of Sihon” (so read; cf. Numbers 21:26; Numbers 21:28) to destroy the temples of Moab’ s head. Moab goes into exile, but Yahweh will ultimately change her fortunes. The closing... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 48:11

Moab hath been at ease from his youth; the Moabites ever since they began to be a people have been a quiet people, not exercised with wars, and enemies making inroads upon them. He hath settled on his lees; like to a cask of wine, that hath not been racked, but hath continued in the same state. And hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel; he follows the metaphor of wine, which is drawn out from vessel to vessel, when it is drawn off the lees. It is expounded by the next words, neither hath... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 48:12

By the wanderers here mentioned the Chaldeans are most certainly understood, who wandered from their own country to conquer other people; the word is variously translated, vagrants, travellers, removers, &c., who shall conquer the Moabites, and carry them into captivity. And shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles: he had before compared the Moabites to wine settled upon the lees, here he saith that God would send those that should not only disturb and roll them, but ruin and... read more
