Jeremiah 48:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 48:31

29 “We have heard the ^apride of Moab
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and ^bpride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.”

30 “I know his¹ wrath,” says the Lord,
“But it is not right;
^aHis lies have made nothing right.

31 Therefore ^aI will wail for Moab,
And I will cry out for all Moab;
¹I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.

32 ^aO vine of Sibmah! I will weep for you with the weeping of ^bJazer.
Your plants have gone over the sea,
They reach to the sea of Jazer.
The plunderer has fallen on your summer fruit and your vintage.

33 ^aJoy and gladness are taken
From the plentiful field
And from the land of Moab;
I have caused wine to¹ fail from the winepresses;
No one will tread with joyous shouting—
Not joyous shouting!

34 “From^a the cry of Heshbon to ^bElealeh and to Jahaz
They have uttered their voice,
^cFrom Zoar to Horonaim,
Like¹ a three-year-old heifer;
For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.

35 “Moreover,” says the Lord,
“I will cause to cease in Moab
^aThe one who offers sacrifices in the¹ high places
And burns incense to his gods.

36 Therefore ^aMy heart shall wail like flutes for Moab,
And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore ^bthe riches they have acquired have perished.

37 “For ^aevery head shall be bald, and every beard clipped;
On all the hands shall be cuts, and ^bon the loins sackcloth—

38 A general lamentation
On all the ^ahousetops of Moab,
And in its streets;
For I have ^bbroken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure,” says the Lord.
