Jeremiah 48:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 48:11

9 “Give^a wings to Moab,
That she may flee and get away;
For her cities shall be desolate,
Without any to dwell in them.

10 ^aCursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully,
And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth;
He ^ahas settled on his dregs,
And has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
Nor has he gone into captivity.
Therefore his taste remained in him,
And his scent has not changed.

12 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I shall send him¹ wine-workers
Who will tip him over
And empty his vessels
And break the bottles.

13 Moab shall be ashamed of ^aChemosh,
As the house of Israel ^bwas ashamed of ^cBethel, their confidence.

14 “How can you say, ^a‘We are mighty
And strong men for the war’?

15 Moab is plundered and gone up from her cities;
Her chosen young men have ^agone down to the slaughter,” says ^bthe King,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts.
