Jeremiah 48:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 48:20

18 “O ^adaughter inhabiting ^bDibon,
Come down from your glory,
And sit in thirst;
For the plunderer of Moab has come against you,
He has destroyed your strongholds.

19 O inhabitant of ^aAroer,
^bStand by the way and watch;
Ask him who flees
And her who escapes;
Say, ‘What has happened?’

20 Moab is shamed, for he is broken down.
^aWail and cry!
Tell it in ^bArnon, that Moab is plundered.

21 “And judgment has come on the plain country:
On Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath,

22 On Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,

23 On Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,

24 On ^aKerioth and Bozrah,
On all the cities of the land of Moab,
Far or near.

25 ^aThe¹ horn of Moab is cut off,
And his ^barm is broken,” says the Lord.

26 “Make^a him drunk,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.
Moab shall wallow in his vomit,
And he shall also be in derision.

27 For ^awas not Israel a derision to you?
^bWas he found among thieves?
For whenever you speak of him,
You shake your head in ^cscorn.
