Jeremiah 48:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 48:1

Judgment on Moab

1 Against ^aMoab. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
“Woe to ^bNebo!
For it is plundered,
^cKirjathaim is shamed and taken;
¹The high stronghold is shamed and dismayed—

2 ^aNo more praise of Moab.
In ^bHeshbon they have devised evil against her:
‘Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.’
You also shall be cut down, O ^cMadmen!
The sword shall pursue you;

3 A voice of crying shall be from ^aHoronaim:
‘Plundering and great destruction!’

4 “Moab is destroyed;
¹Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard;

5 ^aFor in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping;
For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.

6 “Flee, save your lives!
And be like¹ the ^ajuniper in the wilderness.

7 For because you have trusted in your works and your ^atreasures,
You also shall be taken.
And ^bChemosh shall go forth into captivity,
His ^cpriests and his princes together.
