Jeremiah 48:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 48:18

16 “The calamity of Moab is near at hand,
And his affliction comes quickly.

17 Bemoan him, all you who are around him;
And all you who know his name,
Say, ^a‘How the strong staff is broken,
The beautiful rod!’

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.
