Jeremiah 48:43 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 48:43

41 Kerioth is taken,
And the strongholds are surprised;
^aThe mighty men’s hearts in Moab on that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

42 And Moab shall be destroyed ^aas a people,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.

43 ^aFear and the pit and the snare shall be upon you,
O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord.

44 “He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit,
And he who gets out of the pit shall be caught in the ^asnare.
For upon Moab, upon it ^bI will bring
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.

45 “Those who fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon
Because of exhaustion.
But ^aa fire shall come out of Heshbon,
A flame from the midst of ^bSihon,
And ^cshall devour the brow of Moab,
The crown of the head of the sons of tumult.

46 ^aWoe to you, O Moab!
The people of Chemosh perish;
For your sons have been taken captive,
And your daughters captive.

47 “Yet I will bring back the captives of Moab
^aIn the latter days,” says the Lord. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
